Liquefied natural gas - Wikipedia
WEBLiquefied natural gas (LNG) is natural gas (predominantly methane, CH 4, with some mixture of ethane, C 2 H 6) that has been cooled down to liquid form for ease and safety of non-pressurized storage or transport.
Liquefied natural gas (LNG) | Description, Uses, & Benefits
WEBSep 14, 2024 — Liquefied natural gas, natural gas (primarily methane) that has been liquefied for ease of storing and transporting. It can be converted back to its gaseous form by simply raising the temperature. Learn more …
Liquefied natural gas - U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA)
WEBJun 21, 2024 — Liquefied natural gas (LNG) is natural gas that has been cooled to a liquid state (liquefied), to about -260° Fahrenheit, for shipping and storage. The volume of natural gas in a liquid state is about 600 times smaller than its volume in a gaseous state (in natural gas pipelines).
Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) | Department of Energy
WEBLiquefying natural gas is a way to move natural gas long distances when pipeline transport is not feasible. Markets that are too far away from producing regions to be connected directly to pipelines have access to natural gas because of LNG.
Learn about LNG: What is Liquefied Natural Gas? — Chevron
WEBLNG is natural gas that has been cooled to –260° F (–162° C), changing it from a gas into a liquid that is 1/600th of its original volume. This dramatic reduction allows it to be shipped safely and efficiently aboard specially designed LNG vessels.
Liquefied Natural Gas Process - an overview - ScienceDirect
WEBThis chapter provides information on fundamentals of the liquefied natural gas (LNG) process and technologies. LNG is formed when natural gas is cooled by a refrigeration process to temperatures of between −159 °C and −162 °C at atmospheric pressure and the gas condenses to a liquid.
WEBNatural gas is condensed to a liquid by cooling it to about -260°F (-162°C). This process reduces its volume by a factor of more than 600—similar to reducing the natural gas filling a beach ball into liquid filling a ping-pong ball (Figure 3). As a result, just one shipload of LNG can provide nearly 5 percent (roughly 3 billion
