Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the Mundra LNG terminal at Anjar, Gujarat. This is the fourth LNG terminal in Gujarat.
About:
Liquefied natural gas, or LNG, is natural gas in its liquid form. When natural gas is cooled to minus 259 degrees Fahrenheit (-161 degrees Celsius), it becomes a clear, colorless, odorless liquid.
During the process known as liquefaction, natural gas is cooled below its boiling point, removing most of these compounds. The remaining natural gas is primarily methane with only small amounts of other hydrocarbons.
Properties: LNG is neither corrosive nor toxic. Natural gas is primarily methane, with low concentrations of other hydrocarbons, water, carbon dioxide, nitrogen, oxygen and some sulfur compounds. LNG weighs less than half the weight of water so it will float if spilled on water.
Benefits: Liquification is done for easy storage and transportation. LNG achieves a higher reduction in volume than CNG.
A majority of the world's LNG supply comes from countries with large natural gas reserves.
Steps in importing it:
Conversion of natural gas into LNG at Liquefaction plant.
Transportation in special vessels.
LNG received at the LNG receiving terminals.
Regassification Plant converts it back to natural gas.
Transportation & distribution to the Gas consumer.
