Liquefied natural gas (LNG) is natural gas (predominantly methane, CH 4, with some mixture of ethane, C 2 H 6) that has been cooled to liquid form for ease and safety of non-pressurized storage or transport.

Mar 29, 2025 · 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 about liquefied natural gas, its benefits, and its uses.

Feb 28, 2025 · WASHINGTON – The Department of Energy today announced an order that removes barriers for the use of liquefied natural gas (LNG) as marine fuel to power vessels. The order issued by DOE modifies a prior order issued to JAX LNG under the previous administration that asserted new oversight for the use of LNG to power marine vessels, also known as LNG …

Liquefied natural gas (LNG) is natural gas that has been cooled to a liquid state, at about -260° Fahrenheit, for shipping and storage. The volume of natural gas in its liquid state is about 600 times smaller than its volume in its gaseous state.

Nov 16, 2022 · Many countries are relying on liquefied natural gas (LNG) to fill the gap, but so much is now being shipped that tankers are queuing up at ports. What is LNG? LNG is methane, or methane...

Jun 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 …

The U.S. has been the world’s largest producer of natural gas since 2011 as technological advances ushered in the shale revolution. While natural gas is commonly transported in its gaseous form via pipeline, it can also be moved long distances over the …

Jun 8, 2022 · Liquified natural gas (LNG) is natural gas that has been cooled into a liquid form for ease of transportation. LNG demand is growing as the world turns towards cleaner sources of energy.

LNG 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.
