LNG export terminals
LNG export terminals are specialized facilities where natural gas is cooled to a very low temperature, turning it into a liquid (liquefied natural gas, or LNG) for easier transportation. Once cooled, the LNG is stored in tanks and loaded onto ships for export to countries without nearby natural gas sources. These terminals play a crucial role in global energy markets by connecting natural gas producing regions with consuming countries, enabling efficient international trade and supply of cleaner-burning energy. They require sophisticated technology to handle the cooling, storage, and transfer processes safely and efficiently.
