LNG trade

LNG trade involves the global buying and selling of liquefied natural gas, which is natural gas cooled to a liquid state for easier transport. Countries with abundant natural gas liquefy it, then ship it worldwide via specialized tankers. Once delivered, the LNG is warmed back into gas form for use in households, industries, or power plants. This trade allows regions without local natural gas resources to access clean energy, balances supply and demand across markets, and supports energy security. The process involves complex logistics, pricing, and long-term contracts, making LNG an important component of the global energy market.
