Liquefied natural gas

Form of natural gas for easier storage and transport

Liquefied natural gas (sometimes liquid natural gas, frequently LNG) is natural gas (predominantly methane, CH4, with some mixture of ethane, C2H6) that has been cooled to liquid form for ease and safety of non-pressurized storage or transport. It takes up approximately 1/600th the volume of natural gas in the gaseous state at standard temperature and pressure. LNG is odorless, colorless, non-toxic, and non-corrosive.
