What is Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG)?

LNG is natural gas in its liquid
state.
Natural gas is changed to LNG by
cooling it.
The temperature of LNG is approximately
-160ºC at atmospheric pressure which results in a volume
reduction of c. 600:1 compared to when in the gaseous form.
This volumetric reduction enables
long distance transportation of LNG via carrier ships to be viable.
