Background

The terminal was originally proposed in 2019 as a 120 ttpa plant in the Archangelsk region developed by Rostec. The LNG produced at the plant was initially expected to be used to develop the fuel and energy complex of the Arkhangelsk region and related industries.

The initial proposal was revised and, in October 2022, it was announced that the new terminal would produce 160 ttpa of LNG with expected cost of 8 billion RUB.

In November 2023, it was announced that the terminal would be built in two phases: Phase I with capacity of 80 ttpa to be commissioned in 2026, and Phase II with capacity of 80 ttpa to be commissioned in 2028 or later. A portion of LNG produced at the plant is intended for export. Investors in the project were not disclosed, according to analysts as a precaution to avoid falling under sanctions. General Director of Arkhangelsk LNG LLC Sergei Smirnov emphasized that Arkhangelsk LNG is being developed separately from Rostec who is no longer participating in this project.

In November 2024, a meeting was held in Arkhangelsk to discuss the construction of a small-scale LNG plant, which appears to be a different project. The project aims to enhance the region's energy infrastructure by providing a local source of LNG, which can be used for various applications, including transportation and heating. The initiative is part of broader efforts to develop the Arctic's energy potential and reduce dependency on imported fuels.

As of May 2025, there have not been any further updates about Arkhangelsk LNG Terminal. The project was not included into the "Energy Strategy of the Russian Federation until 2050", released by the Ministry of Energy of Russia in April 2025.
