Learn more about our nominees and discover how they went above and beyond.
For listing the only physically deliverable LNG futures contracts trading globally, including Gulf of Mexico LNG futures, North Pacific Asia LNG futures and Northwest Europe LNG futures. The contracts provide direct futures price discovery for waterborne LNG, with prices formed through trading in physically deliverable contracts, and create new tools for manging exposure against existing price references
For turning nearly five decades of LNG heritage into a powerful platform for the industry's future—uniting accelerated growth, commercial leadership, lower-carbon development and technological innovation.
ADNOC Gas is shaping LNG's next chapter: combining scale, reliability and innovation with responsible growth to strengthen global energy security and leave a lasting legacy for a smarter, lower-carbon industry—turning today's achievements into enduring progress for tomorrow.
For completing Corpus Christi Liquefaction Stage 3 (CCL Stage 3) for Cheniere in Gregory, Texas. On August 28, Bechtel safely turned over the seventh and final midscale train, following Train 5 in March and Train 6 in June. Building on four trains delivered in 2025, the project adds more than 10 mtpa of LNG capacity and expands Cheniere's production capacity by over 20%, to approximately 56 mtpa.
Bechtel teams have again delivered a major LNG project safely, on budget and ahead of schedule.
For demonstrating outstanding project execution through the successful start-up of Congo LNG Phase 2 ahead of schedule, with the first LNG cargo exported in February 2026. The addition of the Nguya FLNG facility increased the project's total liquefaction capacity to approximately 3 mtpa, establishing the Republic of Congo as a growing LNG exporter.
By successfully delivering a major floating LNG development, Eni has contributed to global LNG supply diversification and energy security while demonstrating the potential of FLNG technology to accelerate the development of natural gas resources.
For applying global scale, physical-market expertise and disciplined execution to support both energy security and the continued development of LNG markets internationally.
As JERA's exclusive trading and optimisation platform, JERAGM traded 28 million tonnes of LNG last year, sourcing supply from 17 countries and delivering LNG into 20 countries, connecting established supply centres with demand across diverse markets.
For turning one of the world's largest LNG portfolios, totalling more than 34 mtpa, into a platform for reliable supply, stronger market connectivity and practical progress in the energy transition. Over the past twelve months, PCI has delivered significant milestones across Europe and Asia, combining global supply and shipping capabilities with investment in regasification and marine fuel infrastructure.
For establishing a best-in-class LNG trading platform, reliably connecting upstream producers to global markets while remaining committed to decarbonisation of LNG operations through investments in an energy efficient fleet and long-term vessel charters that meet the highest IMO, SIGTTO, and MARPOL standards.
BGN has demonstrated commitment to being a world class LNG partner, with clear ambition to develop new markets and strengthen security of supply.
For advancing the energy transition LNG mobility, renewable gas and low-carbon technologies.
BPCL is advancing India's energy transition through an integrated portfolio spanning LNG and natural gas, renewable energy, biofuels, green hydrogen, electric mobility and carbon management. The company's approach combines the adoption of cleaner fuels in existing applications with investment in technologies that can progressively reduce the carbon intensity of its operations and energy supply.
For making an important contribution to the energy transition by pioneering a certified bio-LNG service in Europe based on the company's interconnected gas infrastructure. This innovative model has enabled bio-LNG supply to scale efficiently, while making biomethane produced anywhere in Spain or Europe available to decarbonise maritime transport.
The market impact has been significant: in 2025, Enagás' operated terminals loaded 705 GWh of bio-LNG, while LNG bunkering demand in Spain reached 8.1 TWh, quadrupling in just two years. This strong momentum has continued through 2026, with LNG and bio-LNG bunkering demand already exceeding the level recorded over the same period in 2025 and the year expected to close with another significant increase.
For supplying 20% of Senegal's total electricity demand. Karpowership has successfully transitioned the operation to LNG-to-Power deploying KARMOL LNGT Africa and developing an undersea and onshore gas pipeline connecting the LNG terminal to a Powership and a land-based power plant in Bel Air, enabling both facilities to operate using natural gas.
As a direct result of this project, Karpowership has acheived 32.33% of GHG emission reduction in the last 12 months.
For advancing Indonesia's energy transition by connecting gas and LNG infrastructure with industrial and power-sector demand, handling approximately 78% of national gas transport volume across nearly 2,991-kilometres of pipeline. In 2025, gas transport volume rose 4% year-on-year and EBITDA increased 15.90% to USD 427.45-million despite the global uncertainty. In August 2026, operational availability reached 100% against a 98% target, with HSSE reporting zero Tier-1 and Tier-2-process safety events across more than 124-million safe working hours.
The company's sustainability roadmap includes biomethane infrastructure, hydrogen development, and CO₂ transportation pipelines.
For being at the forefront of LNG Shipping for a number of decades and maintaining a premium brand and reputation as a top tier operator of LNG vessels and FSRUs. The company’s commitment to the highest standards of operational performance and innovation has meant that their new 177K 3 tank LNG vessel design could become a new industry benchmark.
For being a global pioneer in gas shipping and floating LNG infrastructure, including Floating Storage & Regasification Units (FSRUs) and Floating Liquefaction Units (FLNGs). EXMAR has consistently demonstrated the capacity to design, engineer, build, finance, own, and operate complex floating gas assets, performing reliably under a wide range of operational conditions.
EXMAR’s projects make natural gas more accessible and help to reduce emissions. EXMAR’s focus when developing projects has been bringing cleaner fuels to sectors and regions with limited alternatives to coal and diesel.
For demonstrating technological leadership in LNG shipping through the development of advanced cargo containment systems and innovative vessel designs.
In 2026, GTT collaborated with BW LNG and HD Hyundai on a new 177,000 m³ three-tank LNG carrier design aimed at reducing boil-off gas and improving operational efficiency.
For making LNG shipping safer, more efficient and lower-carbon, by combining vessel technology, digital optimisation and continuous operational improvement.
Leading this approach is the vessel FUJIN SAILOR, delivered in September 2026, the world's first LNG carrier equipped with wind-assisted propulsion, and the first vessel of any type fitted with a two Wind Challenger sail. MOL is also advancing next-generation LNG carrier designs with multiple Wind Challenger sails, supporting wider application of the technology.
