Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) boom in North America - Why? Back to basics

摘要

Liquefied natural gas, or LNG, is natural gas in a liquid form that is clean colorless, odorless, non-corrosive, and non-toxic. LNG is produced when natural gas is cooled to minus 259 degrees Fahrenheit (-161.66 degrees Centigrade) through a process known as liquefaction. During this process, the natural gas, which is primarily methane, is cooled below its boiling point, whereby certain concentrations of hydrocarbons, water; carbon dioxide, oxygen, and some sulfur compounds are either reduced or removed.
