LNG

Detailed Description

Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) is natural gas (predominantly methane) that has been cryogenically cooled to -162°C (-260°F), turning it into a liquid. This process reduces its volume by a factor of more than 600, making it economical to transport over long distances where pipelines are not feasible. It is a key fuel for transitioning to a lower-carbon energy future.

Key Benefits

• Dramatically reduces emissions of sulfur oxides (SOx), nitrogen oxides (NOx), and particulate matter.
• Higher energy density than Compressed Natural Gas (CNG).
• Considered one of the cleanest burning fossil fuels.
• Can be transported globally, increasing energy supply security.

Common Applications

• Fuel for heavy-duty trucks and marine vessels (MARPOL compliant)
• Large-scale electric power generation
• Feedstock for the production of chemicals and fertilizers
• Off-grid energy supply for industrial facilities and communities
