Turkey Floating Storage Regasification Unit Market By Construction (Newly Built, Converted), By Storage (Small, Medium, Large), By Application (Industrial, Power Generation, Others), By Capacity (Up to 140,000 m3, 140,000 to 180,000 m3 and Above 180,000 m3), By Design (Barge-Based, Carrier Vessel-Based), By Region, Competition Forecast & Opportunities, 2027
Turkey floating storage regasification unit market is anticipated to witness a growth of steady CAGR in the forecast period, 2023-2027. Growing energy requirements and the high-end investments by the government in oil exploration and distribution activities are primarily driving the demand for Turkey floating storage regasification unit market. Also, the rapid adoption of advanced technologies by oil & gas accidents to increase safety in the distribution process and the growing LNG import demand from the power and the automotive sector are expected to fuel the market demand over the next five years.
Advantages offered by LNG Supports High Market Demand
Liquefied natural gas is an odorless and colorless liquid fuel and finds diverse applications across many sectors, majorly in the industrial sector and marine and transport sectors. The rise in environmental concerns and the need to lower carbon emissions into the environment create the demand for the adoption of alternative energy fuels. Liquefied natural gas is a versatile fuel and is an environment-friendly fuel. It is a tried and tested alternative to an expensive oil-based system for the business whose main concerns are sustainability and costs. Liquefied natural gas is cheaper, cleaner, and fuel-efficient gas. It does not ignite by itself when stored in liquid form, making them safe to use. Also, the abundant supply of earth and the ability to transport and store LNG support the high demand for LNG across the country.
Increased demand to surge LNG import Drives the Market Growth
The floating storage & regasification unit is witnessing massive demand across the country as it has a high demand for natural gas and does not have sufficient oil-producing regions. The pipeline networks are non-existent in Turkey and are considered uneconomical due to a smaller number of natural gas reserves. Turkey relies on pipeline gas from neighboring countries like Russia, Azerbaijan, and Iran. The concerned authorities prefer to invest in the import of LNG due to LNG's flexibility and compatible prices rather than constructing a pipeline network to transfer gas to the required destination. Floating storage & regasification unit provides an affordable alternative solution to import LNG compared to other land-based terminals. They offer quick project turnaround time and greater flexibility than other alternatives. The high domestic consumption of LNG and import dependency on other countries is expected to propel the growth of Turkey floating storage regasification unit market for the next five years.
Favorable Government Initiatives Fuel the Market Demand
The government invests substantial amounts in supporting the power sector to cater to the growing energy requirements due to rapid industrialization and urbanization. Turkey welcomed its first publicly owned floating storage regasification unit, which was previously anchored in Dörtyol in Turkey's southern province of Hatay. The new vessel can store 170,000 cubic meters of liquefied natural gas and has a regasification capacity of 28 million cubic meters daily. There are two others floating storage regasification units present in Turkey. One is anchored in Hatay's Dörtyol district, and the other is in the Aliağa district of western Izmir. The growing focus on fulfilling the country's energy requirements is expected to accelerate the growth of Turkey floating storage regasification unit market over the forecast period.
