LIQUIDIFIED NATURAL GAS (LNG)

Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) is a natural gas that has been cooled to a liquid state at approximately -162°C (-260°F), making it easier and more efficient to transport over long distances. In its liquid form, LNG occupies about 1/600th of the volume of natural gas in its gaseous state, making it ideal for transportation in specialized cryogenic tankers. LNG is primarily composed of methane but may also contain small amounts of other hydrocarbons such as ethane, propane, and butane. LNG is valued for its clean-burning properties, producing fewer greenhouse gas emissions than traditional fossil fuels. It is widely used for power generation, industrial heating, and as a fuel for vehicles and ships, especially in regions where pipeline infrastructure is limited.
