Liquefied Natural Gas
To convert the natural gas to a liquid, it is cooled to approximately -160 °C. Liquefied natural gas (LNG) is a colourless odourless liquid, less than half the density of water. The process of liquefying natural gas reduces its volume by 600 times. It remains in a liquid state under normal atmospheric conditions, and is transported by sea in specially designed
LNG carriers.
Natural gas has the least environmental impact of all the fossil fuels and the global demand for it is steadily increasing. Transporting gas in the form of LNG provides the flexibility of supply to accommodate any number of LNG buyers in different countries.
