Nowadays the main activities of the LNG business focus on mega projects and big-scale LNG market and the comparatively diminutive market of micro- and nano-scale (bio-) LNG doesn’t get much attention. Even if there are many market players, this segment is generally not yet in the focus of the industry participants but taking into consideration a great potential of this market it should be. The companies approaching the micro-(bio-) LNG market e.g., in off-grid application, should be prepared to act quickly to benefit from first-mover advantage and prepare a complex strategy underpinned by the appropriate capacities, which include relevant technology and partnerships across the (bio-)LNG chain. Additionally, the policy should define not only dedicated incentives but also adjust regulations that often create barriers for innovative (non-) technological solutions. Thus, to unlock this market, the change of paradigm in thinking about target group (end-users), distribution channels and technical solutions is necessary.
