Economical and easy to transport, LNG is poised to become the energy source of the future. LNG, or liquefied natural gas, is produced by cooling natural gas to -260°F under conditions of normal pressure. The primary advantage of LNG is that it takes up just one six hundredth of the space its gaseous volume would take up making shipping easier and economically feasible, especially to remote locations in the absence of a pipeline.

LNG: The Next Generation Fuel?

 Economical and easy to transport, LNG is poised to become the energy source of the future. LNG, or liquefied natural gas, is produced by cooling natural gas to -260°F under conditions of normal pressure. The primary advantage of LNG is that it takes up just one six hundredth of the space its gaseous volume would take up making shipping easier and economically feasible, especially to remote locations in the absence of a pipeline.

 

LNG: A Clean, Safe and Efficient Fuel Source

 

On combustion, coal produces carbon monoxide and sulphur dioxide. This diesel burning only in atmospheric pollution by spewing out oxides of nitrogen, carbon monoxide, sulphur dioxide and heavy metal particulate emission which is deadly for our respiratory tracts and to the atmosphere. One of the advantages of LNG is that when it is combusted, it produces only water vapor and carbon dioxide as its by-products and no poisonous gases.

 

LNG needs a concentration of only 5 to 15 % when mixed with air to combust, which makes it economically viable as a source of clean and inexpensive energy. It also does not combust upon spillage because the process of liquefaction removes all impurities.

 

LNG is transported in tankers specially built with insulated walls where it is kept exactly at its boiling point. If there is any heat added due to internal agitation due to the movement of the tanker, it is countered as the fuel is kept at exactly the boiling point and the vapor is vented out and used to power the vessel’s cooling systems.

 

Current Usage of LNG

 

LNG is primarily kept in storage facilities and used to meet shortfalls in production of local energy suppliers. The techniques are an efficient way of economically storing energy. Several niche car manufacturers are already building LNG powered cars, providing a convenient alternative to propane and piped gas supplies.

 

LPG is also used in ecologically sensitive areas as a convenient clean fuel. Some companies are preparing for a rising demand for LNG by constructing and expanding LNG facilities. The US currently receives most of its LNG from Qatar, Algeria, Trinidad, as well as in small quantities from Nigeria, Indonesia, Oman, UAE and Australia. Triple Diamond Energy Corp. is continuously looking for new energy sources such as LNG.
