Liquefied natural gas (LNG) is natural gas that has been cooled to a very low temperature, around -162 degrees Celsius, turning it into a liquid. This process reduces its volume by about 600 times, making it easier to store and transport. LNG is primarily composed of methane, which is a clean-burning fossil fuel used for heating, electricity generation, and as a vehicle fuel. Once transported to its destination, LNG can be converted back into gas and distributed through pipelines. It plays a crucial role in the global energy market, helping countries meet their energy needs while reducing carbon emissions compared to other fossil fuels like coal and oil.
