ABOUT LNG: The Next Generation Fossil Fuel
Liquefied natural gas (LNG) is the world’s fastest growing fuel. It is widely available, safe to transport, cleaner than all other fossil fuels and cost competitive when compared to refined petroleum products like diesel. LNG is natural gas in its frozen form (-160 Celsius). Comprised primarily of methane, when burned it emits virtually no particulate matter (PM) and significantly less carbon dioxide (CO2), sulphur oxide (SOx) and nitrogen oxide (NOx) than conventional petroleum products. Together these emissions contribute to the accumulation of greenhouse gases in the world’s atmosphere and are recognized as a leading cause of global warming, climate change and pollution induced respiratory issues.
