LNG spot market: Undergoing fundamental changes
May 21:
From early 2019 spot LNG prices began to fall sharply, from over $10 in January to less than $5 by May.
8The fall in spot prices is driven by an over supplied market but the point to note is that there is considerable divergence between spot LNG prices and long term contract prices which are usually based on crude prices. So much so, that the differential is more than 100%, as crude prices continue to stay high
8Forward curves show that long term contract prices may stay higher for the rest of 2019 and 2020 while forward spot prices for this period will be much lower
8There is a fundamental decoupling of LNG prices from crude prices taking place in the market today
8And even if the demand-supply balance is restored in the future, it will not be the same again.
8Find out more on the rapid but permanent changes taking place in the LNG market today

LNG-fueled trucks may have a shelf life of 10 years only
May 21:
India's interest in LNG trucking is rising. Truck loading facilities are now standard features in any regasification plant
8Standard lithium-ion battery technology is likely to penetrate the passenger car, light commercial vehicle, city bus and municipal vehicle markets, but it has made no inroad into the higher energy consuming heavy-duty vehicle market.
8Lithium-ion heavy trucks, despite much fanfare, remain largely at a conceptual stage as developers grapple with the weight, power and range requirements.
8The point to note however is that LNG as a fuel for heavy vehicles are expected to have a golden run only until 2030 only and not after that.
8Any investment payback analysis must take this crucial timeline into consideration while working out the maths.

LNG spot market: Undergoing fundamental changes
May 21:
From early 2019 spot LNG prices began to fall sharply, from over $10 in January to less than $5 by May.
8The fall in spot prices is driven by an over supplied market but the point to note is that there is considerable divergence between spot LNG prices and long term contract prices which are usually based on crude prices. So much so, that the differential is more than 100%, as crude prices continue to stay high
8Forward curves show that long term contract prices may stay higher for the rest of 2019 and 2020 while forward spot prices for this period will be much lower
8There is a fundamental decoupling of LNG prices from crude prices taking place in the market today
8And even if the demand-supply balance is restored in the future, it will not be the same again.
8Find out more on the rapid but permanent changes taking place in the LNG market today

LNG-fueled trucks may have a shelf life of 10 years only
May 21:
India's interest in LNG trucking is rising. Truck loading facilities are now standard features in any regasification plant
8Standard lithium-ion battery technology is likely to penetrate the passenger car, light commercial vehicle, city bus and municipal vehicle markets, but it has made no inroad into the higher energy consuming heavy-duty vehicle market.
8Lithium-ion heavy trucks, despite much fanfare, remain largely at a conceptual stage as developers grapple with the weight, power and range requirements.
8The point to note however is that LNG as a fuel for heavy vehicles are expected to have a golden run only until 2030 only and not after that.
8Any investment payback analysis must take this crucial timeline into consideration while working out the maths.
