LNG stands for liquefied natural gas. Natural gas is a combustible gas produced naturally in gas fields, which is mainly composed of methane. LNG is condensed into liquid by cooling gaseous natural gas to-162℃ under normal pressure. Liquefied natural gas can greatly save storage and transportation space, and has the characteristics of large calorific value and high performance.
Liquefied natural gas is a clean and efficient energy source. Because importing LNG helps energy consuming countries to realize energy supply diversification and ensure energy security, while exporting LNG helps natural gas producing countries to effectively develop natural gas resources, increase foreign exchange income and promote national economic development, LNG trade is becoming a new hot spot in the global energy market.
Main uses of natural gas in LNG projects.
Natural gas is an important industrial raw material and fuel, and its main uses are as follows.
1) The main fuel for industrial enterprises such as power plants, heat energy, heating and air conditioning;
2) Catering industry and civil fuel;
3) The main raw materials of chemical industry, which can synthesize or refine a variety of industrial raw materials and semi-finished products;
4) As a clean fuel for motor vehicles that meets the requirements of environmental protection, it is an ideal substitute for gasoline and diesel, and a new technology that has developed rapidly at home and abroad in recent years, and can be used in automobiles, ships, trains and even airplanes.
