Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG)

LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) is the colorless and odorless liquefied natural gas with the main composition of CH4 - methane (accounting for about 95%). LNG is natural gas that is thoroughly cooled down at -162°C turned into liquid form and stored in specialized tanks to be transported to point-of-consumption.
