In the first six months of 2026, 20% of global LNG supply was taken offline by conflict in the Middle East. During the same period, 32.5 Mtpa of new liquefaction capacity reached FID, 30 Mtpa of new supply expected to reach first production before year's end. Across North America, Latin America, Africa and APAC, 140 Mtpa of new supply is approaching FID.
Through a period of intense market uncertainty, the LNG industry has continued to operate at pace and with great agility, delivering vital energy solutions at a time of renewed supply shortage.
Hosted by BOTAŞ, World LNG Summit & Awards returns to Istanbul, Türkiye, on 1-4 December 2026. The event will bring together industry leaders from across the world for a week of the highest-calibre strategic intelligence, bilateral dialogues, closed door meetings and C-Level executive networking.
“We are proud to host the 26th World LNG Summit & Awards in Istanbul, Türkiye. As a cornerstone of the global energy mix, LNG continues to drive affordability, bolster energy security, and reduce emissions worldwide—empowering nations to meet growing demand while advancing climate goals.
Türkiye is at the forefront of this transformation. By securing long-term supply agreements and expanding critical infrastructure—including state-of-the-art terminals and interconnectors—we are diversifying energy sources and strengthening our position as a key regional gas hub. Through strategic partnerships and innovation, Türkiye is also contributing to Europe’s energy resilience, ensuring stability in an evolving geopolitical landscape.
This December, we look forward to welcoming the global LNG industry back to Istanbul for a week of insightful discussions with our esteemed friends and partners. Together, we can unlock new opportunities for a sustainable and secure energy future.”
Abdulvahit FIDAN, Chairman of the Board, Managing Director, BOTAŞ
