Turn an LNG concept into a clearer first-pass scope.
Mark what is defined, partly defined or still open across ten core workstreams. The tool generates a portable readiness brief you can use to organize internal discussion, a university case, an association workshop or the starting point for professional scoping.

01
Site & land
Site control, access, geotechnical basis, utilities and adjacent constraints.
02
LNG supply & logistics
Supply source, volumes, transport pathway, shipping or trucking assumptions.
03
Offtake & commercial
Demand, customer structure, contracting basis and commercial assumptions.
04
Permitting & environmental
Jurisdiction, permits, environmental pathway and authority interfaces.
05
Marine & port
Berthing, navigation, transfer, port interfaces and marine constraints where applicable.
06
Engineering & technology
Design basis, process concept, capacity, interfaces and technology decisions.
07
Capital & transaction structure
Ownership, financing pathway, counterparties and investment requirements.
08
Safety, HSE & compliance
Hazard basis, safety studies, operating controls and compliance requirements.
09
Commissioning & operations
Start-up philosophy, operating model, staffing, procedures and readiness.
10
Workforce & training
Roles, competency requirements, training pathways and evidence needs.
For project teams
Use one workstream structure to expose unanswered questions before requesting engineering, commercial or development support.
For universities
Use the checklist as a case-study frame: ask students to justify what evidence would be needed to move each workstream from open to defined.
For associations
Use the framework to structure a workshop around LNG project interfaces without turning the session into a product pitch.
What this tool does not do
Readiness organization, not a feasibility verdict.
This self-assessment does not determine whether an LNG project is technically feasible, safe, permitted, financeable or commercially viable. Those conclusions require stage-appropriate evidence and professional work. LNG Cluster can use the resulting brief as a starting point for a scoped review.
