LNG bunkering outlook to 2030

2/25/2026

Research from Rystad Energy and S&P Global shows LNG demand could double by 2030 due to dual-fuel vessel growth, infrastructure expansion, and IMO emissions targets.

Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) continues to gain traction as the leading transitional marine fuel, supported by vessel orders, infrastructure expansion, and regulatory shifts toward decarbonisation. According to Rystad Energy’s 2025 Global LNG Bunkering Outlook, LNG demand for marine fuel is expected to at least double by 2030, driven by fleet expansion, expanding bunkering infrastructure, and tighter emissions regulations.
