Is it time for a more dynamic and innovative approach to financing and structuring LNG ventures?   

This week on LNG Excellence we are joined by Katan Hirachand from Société Générale, who shares a fascinating insight into the world of LNG advisory and project finance.    

Katan also discusses how market evolution and the Energy Transition has accelerated the need for a more dynamic and innovative approach to structuring and financing LNG ventures, the increasing appetite for small-scale LNG, Hydrogen Energy, and CCUS ventures from both equity and debts markets, and how major infrastructure investors and LNG Developers and Operators across the world are collaborating to unlock opportunities for LNG industry growth.

We also discuss: 

·  The urgent need to move away from the rigidity of the LNG market, towards a more dynamic and innovative approach to structuring and financing LNG ventures.

·  Why the most attractive ventures to buyers and lenders will be those that take into consideration ESG requirements.

·  The increasing appetite for smaller scale LNG projects.

·  The mounting interest in Hydrogen Energy and CCUS ventures from both the equity and debt markets, and why the regulatory and contractual frameworks must mature to fully understand the risk profiles.

-  Why operating/developed assets are preferred over assets under development by LNG infrastructure investors and how LNG Developers and Operators are shifting their models to accommodate.

This episode is presented by Aly Vance and Adam Sprei.
