Product Description
Liquefied natural gas, popularly referred to as LNG is a natural gas that is cooled to a temperature of about -162 degrees Celsius (-260 degrees Fahrenheit), changing it into its liquid state. Through this process, the volume of gas is reduced by about 600 times: hence, it is much easier and more efficient in storage and transit. It is a mixture of small quantities of methane, ethane, propane, and other hydrocarbons.
Besides, it is colorless, odorless, nontoxic, and noncorrosive and is much a safer form of energy as compared to all other types of fossil fuels. This includes dust, acid gases, helium, water, and heavy hydrocarbons. Furthermore, LNG is well-suited for transportation via sea and road using specially designed cryogenic sea vessels and road tankers, thereby facilitating shipment over long distances where pipeline infrastructure is not feasible.
Upon reaching its destination, LNG is regasified into pipeline gas, reverting to traditional natural gas for residential, commercial, and industrial applications. Moreover, the inherent versatility and efficiency of LNG position it as a crucial propellant within the global energy landscape. It holds a unique status as a transition fuel, facilitating the shift towards cleaner energy sources.
