Technip Energies has announced SnapLNG™ 1.5, a standardised, fully modular and electrified LNG solution enabled by Honeywell Technologies and Siemens Energy.

Built around a 1.5 million-tonne-per-annum (MTPA) train, the solution is designed to help developers bring LNG capacity online faster, improve execution certainty and reduce operational emissions. 

As LNG demand is expected to grow significantly over the coming decade, more than 200 MTPA of new LNG capacity could be required by 2035, creating a substantial opportunity for project developers.

The US is expected to account for approximately 50 per cent of global LNG market growth, reinforcing the need for solutions that can accelerate project delivery while reducing complexity, improving reliability and supporting lower-carbon operations.

SnapLNG 1.5 addresses these challenges through a standardised and replicable design tailored to the growing small-to-mid-scale LNG market. 

Commercialised by Technip Energies, SnapLNG 1.5 combines Technip Energies’ LNG project execution expertise, modularisation capabilities and digital project delivery approach with Honeywell Technologies’ proven gas pretreatment, liquefaction and automation technologies and Siemens Energy’s electrified turbomachinery and compression solutions. 

Designed around a standardised 1.5 MTPA train that can be replicated for larger developments, SnapLNG™ 1.5 leverages extensive offsite fabrication and electric motor-driven liquefaction technology to reduce development complexity, shorten project schedules by up to two years and enhance operational performance. 

Commenting on the solution, Loic Chapuis, President Project Delivery and Services of Technip Energies, says: “SnapLNG 1.5 gives project owners and developers a faster and more predictable route to bringing new LNG capacity online. The result is a more predictable path to new LNG capacity, with lower operational emissions.”
