LNGimport
LNGimport refers to the process of importing Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG). LNG is natural gas that has been cooled down to a liquid state at approximately -162 degrees Celsius (-260 degrees Fahrenheit). This liquefaction process significantly reduces the volume of the natural gas, making it more practical for transportation over long distances, especially by sea.
The import of LNG involves specialized ships called LNG carriers, which are designed with insulated tanks to
Countries import LNG for various reasons, primarily to meet domestic energy demands when local natural gas
