An LNG importer is a company or entity that brings in liquefied natural gas from other countries to meet domestic energy needs. This process involves transporting LNG via specialized ships and unloading it at import terminals, where it is then converted back into gas for distribution. LNG importers play a crucial role in the global energy market, helping to diversify energy sources and enhance energy security. They often work with natural gas suppliers and infrastructure operators to ensure a steady supply of LNG, which can be used for heating, electricity generation, and industrial processes.
