There may be a link between current LNG price and the decrease in the number of
LNG project submissions. The slight increase in the number of storage projects may
reflect the recent concerns about energy security of Europe.
The following chart provides a summary of projects based on their geographical
location and by type of infrastructure.
The content of promoters’ submissions in term of granularity differs strongly. Some
