Liquefied Natural Gas \u2013 All You Need to Know\u00a0<\/span><\/h1>\n
<\/p>\n
Natural gas is abundant on the planet, but much of it is located in locations where it is not needed. Natural gas must be turned into liquefied natural gas (LNG) in order to transport this cleaner-burning fuel across oceans, a process known as liquefaction.\u00a0<\/span>Many people in need of energy live far away from gas fields, making pipeline construction impossible or prohibitively expensive. To get around this issue, gas can be cooled to turn into a liquid, reducing its volume and making it easier to store and transfer overseas.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When natural gas is cooled to -162\u00b0C (-260\u00b0F), it creates LNG, a transparent, colorless, and non-toxic liquid. The cooling procedure reduces the amount of the gas by 600 times, making storage and shipping much easier and safer. LNG will not ignite in its liquid condition.\u00a0<\/span>The process of converting LNG to natural gas is known as regasification. LNG is warmed to revert to a gaseous condition and delivered to natural gas users via local pipelines once it arrives at its destination.<\/span> It’s like mining<\/a> oil from the ground like minerals.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
