The U.S. is forecast to drive new-build, liquefied natural gas (LNG) liquefaction capacity additions globally from planned and announced (new-build) projects between 2019 and 2023, contributing around 73% of global new-build LNG liquefaction capacity growth by 2023, according to GlobalData, a leading data and analytics company.

Russia is the second highest country globally in terms of new-build LNG liquefaction capacity additions with 18.7 mtpa by 2023. The Arctic-2 and Baltic lead in the country with similar capacity additions of 6.6 mtpa and 6.5 mtpa, respectively, by 2023.
