  2. LNG: What is it? • Liquefied natural gas, or LNG, is natural gas that has been supercooled to minus 260 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 162 degrees Celcius). • At that temperature, natural gas condenses into a liquid. • When in liquid form, natural gas takes up to 600 times less space than in its gaseous state, which makes it feasible to transport over long distances.

  3. Why it’s popular? • LNG is a key component of our nation’s three-pronged natural gas supply mix which includes: domestic production, Canadian imports, and LNG. Having LNG in our natural gas supply mix helps to ensure diversity of energy choices, which creates competition, improves security of supply, and benefits consumers.

  4. LNG • LNG is a safe, environmentally-friendly fuel. • LNG is odorless, non-toxic and non-corrosive. When exposed to the environment, LNG rapidly evaporates, leaving no residue on water or soil. If spilled, LNG would not result in a slick because it evaporates quickly and disperses • Once LNG is converted to natural gas, it produces relatively low emissions when burned to heat homes, generate electricity and fuel vehicles.

  5. Problems in Shipping • Natural gas is a fossil fuel that is extracted from the ground. Many countries with excess natural gas supplies sell it to countries with strong demand. However, natural gas cannot be efficiently transported very long distances (e.g. across oceans) in its gaseous state. Therefore, natural gas is converted to LNG by cooling it to -260° Fahrenheit at liquefaction facilities.

  6. How it’s used • 76% of the residential and commercial sectors' energy • 40% of the industrial sector's energy • 17% of electricity generation • 2% of the transportation sector's energy
