Although building a new facility is possible, SBM's innovative option is to convert LNG tankers into FLNG facilities – in much the same way as has been

"A new low cost, highly efficient process using simple proven and low risk technology may benefit many future LNG projects. The process is based on a simple single mixed refrigerant cycle but the performance is significantly enhanced by the addition of conventional combined heat and power technology and conventional industrial ammonia refrigeration. The result is a plant cost which is around half the cost of competing technologies and at least 30% more efficient resulting in 30% less emissions and substantially improved project economics"
