The Role of LNG Storage in Achieving Net-Zero: Case Studies and Innovations

LNG’s Role in Energy Transition

• Bridge fuel between fossil fuels and renewables; lower CO2 emissions than coal.

Case Study: China’s GBA Project

• Details on the 270,000 m³ tank reducing reliance on coal-fired plants .

• Integration with renewable grids (e.g., solar/wind + LNG backup).

Technological Innovations

• AI-driven design tools (e.g., Autodesk Fusion’s generative design for optimizing tank structures) .

• Carbon capture integration (e.g., capturing boil-off gas for reuse).

Global Examples

• Japan’s Kashiwazaki LNG terminal.

• Europe’s LNG expansion post-Russia-Ukraine conflict.

Challenges & Solutions

• High upfront costs vs long-term ROI.

• Public perception: Addressing safety concerns with transparent data .
