LNG export terminals are facilities designed to convert natural gas into liquefied natural gas (LNG) for transportation. This process involves cooling the gas to extremely low temperatures, which reduces its volume significantly, making it easier and more economical to transport over long distances, especially by ship. Once the LNG reaches its destination, it can be regasified and distributed for various uses, including heating and electricity generation. These terminals play a crucial role in the global energy market, enabling countries to trade natural gas and enhance energy security while reducing reliance on pipeline infrastructure.
