摘要

Method of transporting, storing and using natural gas that consists of expanding the gas in at least two phases, resulting in such reduction of pressure and temperatures that in the last phase of liquefaction some of the gas liquefies, purifying the gas before the phase liquefaction by separating the condensate and other impurities, removing the liquefied gas, collecting it at atmospheric pressure in an internally insulated storage and transport area, exposed to the ambient heat, heating the relatively small amount of gas evaporated by the ambient vapor from the liquid, using it as a refrigerant, use the heated gas to provide energy to propel the area containing the liquid to a point where combustible gas is required, use the gas there as a refrigerant, whereby a very increased amount of heat applied to the liquid evaporates it and heat the gas, and then use the gas as fuel.
