Liquefied
natural gas, or LNG, is natural gas in a liquid form. When
natural gas is cooled to minus 259 degrees Fahrenheit (minus
161 degrees Celsius), it becomes a clear, colorless, odorless
liquid. LNG is neither corrosive nor toxic
Chem-Energy Corporation has been actively involved in the
study and development of LNG projects. The company has
carried out the marketing and trading operation study in
partnership with a major company in the Middle East and
Central Asia. The CEO of the company Mr. Shuja Zaidi has
been a speaker on LNG at various conferences focused on
supply and marketing of LNG with its future in the coming
years.
ØThe
LNG (liquefied natural gas) supply prospects to the U.S.,
particularly from the Asia-Pacific region and the Middle
East is good. The gap between U.S. natural gas supply and
demand is expected to grow in the coming years. LNG
imports can help to close this gap. ØThe study shows the Middle East and Asia Pacific LNG Supply Prospects to the
U.S.’s Gulf Coast and East Coast are good. The
study also shows that
the LNG market in Asia and the USA is growing more rapidly than expected. Even though the demand in
Asia and USA is growing, still there is competition
between the suppliers who are the USA market.
Shortage of Gas supply in California is forcing
California to ease its policies to import LNG
LNG projects are among the most expensive energy projects. Accurate data
on LNG plant costs are difficult to pinpoint since costs vary
widely depending on location and whether a project is
greenfield, i.e., built in a new location, or an expansion of
an existing plant.
According to our study on LNG projects, there are
various main price components of an LNG project, from the gas
field to the receiving terminal
Chem-Energy can
assist as a consultant or on joint venture basis to develop
the LNG projects in the USA and in the International markets.

LNG Tankers
Liquefied
Natural Gas [LNG] tank ships look different from regular tank
ships carrying oil and chemicals. Most LNG tank ships have two
hulls, so that, if a collision or grounding punctures the
outer hull, the ship will still float and the LNG will not
spill out. LNG tanks are either spherical (and the upper half
of the sphere sticks out above the deck), or box-shaped. The
ships tend to ride high in the water, even when loaded. A
typical LNG ship is 950 feet long and 150 feet wide, and many
new ships being built are even bigger.
