What is LNG?
The acronym LNG stands for Liquefied Natural Gas?
In liquid status, natural gas (mainly methane) occupies 600 times less volume, and for this, its temperature is reduced to -160ºC and it is transported at atmospheric pressure in methane carriers.
This mode of transport is the cheapest when transporting to destinations located more than 4.000 km away, a distance beyond which the building of a gas pipe is not profitable.
