As of the end of 2024, global regasification capacity grew by 58 mtpa to 1064 mtpa (141.94 Bcf/d) across 32 markets. Japan has the largest regasification capacity at 217 mtpa (~29 Bcf/d), followed by China at 156 mtpa (~20 Bcf/d) and South Korea at 143 mtpa (~19 Bcf/d). Combined, these top 3 countries account for almost half of global regasification capacity. Germany led the growth in Europe, with three FSRU -based startups, including the 5.5 mtpa Mukran LNG (Energos Power), the 4.4 mtpa Mukran LNG (Neptune), and the 3.7 mpta Stade LNG 1 (Transgas Force), together contributing 13.6 mtpa of capacity addition.
