LNG has to be maintained at -162⁰C during storage or transportation from one place to another. It is transferred from LNG tankers that arrive at port into cryogenic tankers mounted on trucks and then again transferred in to local storage tanks installed at the industries. Along with storage tanks, vaporizers are installed at industry premises… Continue reading How is LNG transported to industries?

LNG is the cleanest burning fossil fuel as it emits far lesser pollutants, gas as well as particulate, than coal, oil and other commonly used fuels. LNG is not explosive, flammable or toxic thus safer to transport and use. It is also very convenient to store. The liquefaction process also allows surplus natural gas to… Continue reading Why use LNG?

Traditionally, LNG has been used as fuel and/or feedstock by various industry sectors viz. paints & dyes, fertilizers & pesticides, plastics, metal processing, pharmaceuticals & chemical, dairy and food processing, agro based industries, electricity generation and many more. Nowadays, LNG, in compressed gas form, as CNG is being used for small automotive applications, and LNG… Continue reading Where & how is LNG used?

When Natural Gas is available in surplus in locations where it cannot be consumed on account of less demand, it is either compressed or liquefied for the better logistical cost to be transported over longer distances. Waterways are the cheapest form of transportation globally and when LNG has to be transported across continents it is… Continue reading How is LNG produced & transported?

The fast paced economic growth of Indian economy has led to an ever increasing demand of energy. Currently, India is the third largest energy consumer in the world after China & USA. India’s energy requirements are majorly fulfilled by coal, crude oil, natural gas and other sources. Industries and other economic sectors are becoming more… Continue reading Natural Gas – India Consumption Overview

LNG is a liquefied form of Natural Gas, formed when it is cooled to -162⁰ C at the atmospheric pressure of 15 bars (sea level pressure). Its important characteristics are: Cleanest Burning Fossil Fuel LNG is the cleanest burning fossil fuel as it emits less pollutants as compared to coal, fuel oil, diesel, petrol, etc.… Continue reading Important characteristics of LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas)

Natural Gas is a naturally occurring hydrocarbon gas mixture consisting primarily of methane, but commonly including varying amounts of other higher alkanes, and sometimes a small percentage of carbon dioxide, nitrogen, hydrogen sulfide, or helium. It is formed when layers of decomposing plant and animal matter are exposed to intense heat and pressure under the… Continue reading What is Natural Gas?

LNG has to be maintained at -162⁰ C during storage or transportation from one place to another. It transferred from LNG tankers that arrive at port into cryogenic tankers mounted on trucks and then again transferred into storage tanks installed at the Retail Outlet. At the Retail Outlet, specially designed LNG Dispensers are installed through… Continue reading How is LNG transported to Retail Outlets for automotive applications?

LNG is growing in popularity due to its various benefits and advantages. Globally, Natural Gas production is rising due to the advances in the drilling and discoveries happening in deep water and unexplored territories. Due to increased natural gas production, countries rich with the natural gas production can import and export natural gas thus improving… Continue reading What is the future of LNG and what is its scope?

Liquefied Natural Gas can serve as the ideal bridge to sustainability for India, as the country seeks to drastically reduce greenhouse gas emissions and transform itself into a green economy, while still maintaining a rapid rate of growth. Though still a fossil fuel, natural gas is far cleaner than the solid fuels (coal, wood, briquettes,… Continue reading In India’s quest for greater LNG adoption!
