LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas)

Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) is natural gas that has been cooled to a liquid state at about -162°C (-260°F). This process reduces its volume by about 600 times, making it easier and more cost-effective to transport, especially over long distances where pipelines aren't feasible. Once it reaches its destination, LNG can be regasified and used for heating, electricity generation, and as a cleaner fuel for vehicles. LNG is considered a more environmentally friendly option compared to coal and oil, as it produces fewer carbon emissions when burned.

    Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) is natural gas that has been cooled to a liquid state at around -162°C (-260°F). This process reduces its volume by about 600 times, making it easier to store and transport, especially across oceans where pipelines aren’t feasible. LNG is primarily composed of methane and is used as a clean energy source for heating, electricity generation, and as fuel for vehicles. The process of converting natural gas into LNG and back into gas for use is crucial for global energy trade, enhancing energy security and supporting cleaner energy transitions.
