Drivers of technical innovation in LNG
Find best trade-off between
scale and cost-effectiveness
What's the right sizing of
the liquefaction unit in
terms of CAPEX, OPEX,
time to market, production
flexibility?
Could micro and small
liquefaction become cost
competitive?
Gain license to operate in the
low carbon world
Plant Hybridization… use
renewables and energy
storage to replace partly o
totally gas-fired turbines
at a competitive CAPEX
and OPEX
Tackle methane escapes
across the whole supply
chain
Eliminate flaring at start-
up and shut down
Flexible solutions to capture
demand uncertainty
Hardware and software kit
to increase production
using the same asset
Online condition-based
maintenance to postpone
maintenance outages
Drive the next wave of cost
reduction
Additive manufacturing to
produce spare parts onsite
and reduce working capital
and downtime
Autonomous, low-cost
robots able to perform
complex tasks and
substitute human
intervention
Blockchain to enable safe
and easy integration and
access of data
Optimal train size Zero Emission Debottlenecking Digital Innovation
Realize next round of cost-
out by sharing knowledge and
optimizing at cross-system
level
Relax specs and remove
contingency over
contingency
Maximize efficiency and
reliability around standard
design and commoditized
equipment
Execute assembly and
testing work in yard
located in best-cost
country
