LNG

Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) is a natural gas which is liquefied by cooling (-163^oC) for transportation and storage. Today, LNG is one of the cleanest and safest forms of energy and its use is growing rapidly. New technologies to liquefy and transport natural gas have allowed producers to manufacture, store, and transport LNG to world markets at a competitive cost and in a safe manner. Dealing in LNG has become a commercial business where inspection and control are essential.

As with all fuels and commodities, quality is imperative.
