What is Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG)?
LNG is natural gas (mainly methane) that has been cooled to -162°C (-260°F), transforming it into a liquid form. This process reduces its volume by approximately 600 times, making it easier and safer to transport over long distances where pipelines are not feasible.
Key Benefits of LNG:
- Environmentally Friendly: Produces 40-50% fewer CO₂ emissions than coal and oil.
- High Energy Efficiency: Delivers more energy per volume compared to traditional fuels.
- Cost-Effective: Provides a stable and competitive pricing structure for large-scale consumers.
- Easy Transportation: Ideal for international transport via LNG carriers.
Applications of LNG:
- Power generation for industrial and municipal utilities
- Fuel for marine vessels and heavy-duty transportation
- Backup energy source for remote locations and off-grid facilities
- Use in petrochemical industries for feedstock and heating
LNG vs. LPG: Which One is Right for You?
| Feature | LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) | LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) |
|---|---|---|
| Primary Use | Power generation & heavy transport | Residential, commercial, and automotive |
| Main Components | Methane (CH₄) | Propane (C₃H₈) & Butane (C₄H₁₀) |
| Energy Density | Lower than LPG | Higher energy content per liter |
| Environmental Impact | Lower CO₂ emissions | Clean-burning with low emissions |
| Storage | Requires cryogenic tanks | Stored in pressurized cylinders or tanks |
