liquefied natural gases
1Liquefied natural gas — Not to be confused with Natural Gas Liquids (NGL). Liquefied natural gas or LNG is natural gas (primarily methane, CH4) that has been converted to liquid form for ease of storage or transport. Liquefied natural gas takes up about 1/600th the… …
2Liquefied Natural Gas — Als Flüssigerdgas (Abkürzung LNG für engl. liquefied natural gas) bezeichnet man durch Abkühlung mittels Methan auf 161 bis 164°C (109 K bis 112 K) verflüssigtes Erdgas. LNG weist etwa 1/600stel des Volumens von Erdgas in Gasform auf. Besonders… …
