Liquified natural Gas (LNG)

Liquified natural Gas (LNG):

Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) is natural gas that has been cooled to a liquid state at about -162°C (-260°F) to facilitate storage and transport. In its liquid form, natural gas occupies about 1/600th of its gaseous volume, making LNG efficient for shipping over long distances where pipelines are not feasible. LNG is mainly composed of methane, with small amounts of other hydrocarbons and trace impurities. Once transported to its destination, LNG is converted back into gas and distributed for various uses, particularly in energy generation, heating, and as a fuel for vehicles.

Applications:

• Used in isolated or remote areas where pipeline infrastructure is not available, making it an adaptable energy source for diverse locations.
• It is used as a raw material in petrochemical plants to produce products like ammonia, methanol, and hydrogen.
• LNG is used as a fuel in long-haul trucks, buses, and refuse trucks, providing a cleaner alternative to diesel.
• Hotels, restaurants, and other commercial establishments use LNG as a clean energy source for heating and cooking.
• LNG is used in industries looking to reduce emissions, especially in regions transitioning away from coal and oil, as LNG burns cleaner with lower carbon output.
