Germany Leads New LNG Terminal Infrastructure Development in Europe
What happened
Global LNG regasification capacity grew by 62.9 million tonnes per year in 2025, raising total installed capacity to 1113.5 million tonnes per year across 50 markets. Germany is noted as the leading market for new energy infrastructure under development in Europe, and Cyprus is also developing its first LNG import terminals. Asia led this capacity growth, contributing 22.2 million tonnes per year.

Why it matters
The expansion of LNG capacity is expected to continue, supported by projects currently under construction globally. This growth strengthens the energy market in Europe, which contributed 11.0 million tonnes per year of new capacity in 2025.
Cyprus and Europe are deepening cooperation in trade and energy matters, which includes the development of the Kronos gasfield in Cypriot EEZ.
