Today, almost 1 billion people are living in the dark, without any form of electricity. The predicted growth in the world’s population will demand over 50% increase in electricity over the next 25 years, especially in Asia Pacific, China, and Africa.
Global energy demand, particularly in emerging markets, where current generation capacity is insufficient, has created the need for fast large-scale solutions, which can not be met by renewable energy sources alone.
Floating marine technology and changes in the market have enabled the LNG value chain to be realised in the form of LNG to Power projects. LNG trading and effective sales models have helped to support the global reach of natural gas to power industries and communities whose growth would otherwise be hampered by the lack of energy infrastructure.
The most effective solution to deliver power to growing nations is with LNG, because LNG is easy to transport and it will allow for independence from gas pipeline infrastructure.

In 2017 Connect LNG and Naturgy Energy Group S.A. (then Gas Natural Fenosa) made history with the world's first transfer of LNG with the Universal Transfer System, UTS ®.
Naturgy's goal is to enable the rapid expansion of the LNG value chain to support emerging markets and developing countries where population growth has meant a vast demand increase in power.
Connect LNG was born from first-hand experience with the challenges and inefficiencies of traditional LNG offloading methods from ship to shore. Our core offerings remove the need for fixed and permanent infrastructure, such as quays, jetties, trestle structures and loading platforms.
Dredging, which is expensive and damaging to coastal areas, can be eliminated with Connect LNG’s floating jettyless transfer solution.
