LNG is liquefied natural gas, a clear, colorless, non-toxic liquid
that forms when natural gas is cooled to ***2ºC (***0ºF). This
shrinks the volume of the gas **0 times, making it easier to store
and ship to energy-hungry towns and cities overseas. The
liquefaction process involves removal of certain components, such
as dust, acid gases, helium, water, and heavy hydrocarbons, which
could cause difficulty downstream. The natural gas is then
condensed into a liquid at close to atmospheric pressure (maximum
transport pressure set at around *5 kPa (4 psi)) by cooling it to
approximately −**2 °C (−**0 °F).
