LIQUIFIED NATURAL GAS

Description

Liquefied natural gas is natural gas, primarily composed of methane, which has been converted to liquid form for ease of storage and transport. LNG takes up about 1/**0th the volume of natural gas. ... Liquefaction describes the process of cooling natural gas to approximately ***2°C ( ***9°F ) until it forms as a liquid.

Liquefied natural gas (LNG) is natural gas that has been converted to a liquid form for the ease and safety of natural gas transport.

LNG occupies about 1/**0th the volume of natural gas. Liquefaction allows natural gas to be transported economically by ship to overseas markets. Upon reaching its destination, LNG is converted back to a gaseous state for use as an energy source. LNG is also used directly as a transportation fuel for ships and cars
