What is LNG?
Gas Natural Fenosa, world leader in the supply of natural gas
What is LNG?
LNG (liquefied natural gas) is basically made up of methane. It is transparent, non-toxic and non-corrosive.
It is reduced to the liquid state by condensation at -161°C: its original volume is thus reduced approximately six hundred times.
It is stored in cryogenic tanks. It can then be transported by methane carriers and road tankers to supply factories not served by the network. A small facility then regasifies the LNG through heat exchangers so that it can be used as standard.
Steps in transforming liquefied natural gas
Economic advantages
The price of gas has for the last four years been well below heavy fuel or propane which are currently used in most cases for sites not connected to natural gas.
Make savings and focus on managing your business with the innovation of LNG for unconnected sites.
Environmental advantages
Natural gas is the cleanest of all fossil fuels. It generates:
- 41% less CO2 than coal
- 28% less CO2 than fuel oil
