Liquefied natural gas (or LNG) is natural gas that has been processed to remove impurities and heavy hydrocarbons and then condensed into a liquid. It has a fraction of the volume of standard natural gas, making it much more cost-efficient to transport over long distances. LNG should not be confused with LPG - Liquid Petroleum Gas.
LNG offers an energy density comparable to petrol and diesel fuels and produces less pollution. However, it must be stored at extremely low temperatures to keep it in its liquid state, making it expensive to store.
