Liquefied natural gas examples

Today, the United States is the world’s largest producer of natural gas.  Natural gas supplies about 1/3 of the United States’ primary energy consumption,  with its primary uses being heating and generating electricity.  While the majority of natural gas is delivered in its gaseous form via pipeline in the United States, the growth in the international market for natural gas has given rise to the use of natural gas in a liquefied form, or LNG.

LNG Basics

Liquefied natural gas (LNG) is natural gas that has been cooled to a liquid state, at about -260° Fahrenheit, for shipping and storage.

How is lng transported on land

The volume of natural gas in its liquid state is about 600 times smaller than its volume in its gaseous state. This process makes it possible to transport natural gas to places pipelines do not reach.

Liquefying 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 L
