Liquefied natural gas (LNG)

About Liquefied natural gas (LNG) • Liquefied natural gas or LNG is natural gas (predominantly methane, CH4) that has been converted to liquid form for ease of storage or transport.. • When natural gas is cooled into liquid form, its volume is reduced by a factor of 600, which means LNG uses 1/600 of the space required for the same mass of gas. • Natural gas, the cleanest-burning and safest of all fossil fuels, is odorless and colorless in liquid form. • LNG is noncorrosive and nontoxic and will not pollute land or water resources. • LNG is lighter than water and when exposed to air quickly vaporizes. The vapor has only 55 percent of the density of air, so the gas vapor rises and floats away if a release occurs
