Royal Dutch Shell CEO Ben van Beurden expects global demand for LNG to double by 2035. Shell has positioned itself to be a key player in the next LNG boom after making a final investment decision on its $C40bn ($43bn) LNG Canada project. Wood Mackenzie estimates that LNG projects with an annual production capacity of 50-60 million tonnes will receive final approval in 2019. However, Australia is not expected to play a major role in the new LNG boom, as only the Prelude and Ichthys projects are currently being developed.
