    Background Studies: Table 1.1 Composition of LNG

    Uploaded by

    Dhanesh Kumar
    The document discusses liquefied natural gas (LNG) and its role in the global energy market. It notes that natural gas demand is increasing and is projected to account for 30% of global energy usage by 2030. LNG has advantages over natural gas such as flexibility in sourcing from different countries and lower transportation costs over long distances. However, the infrastructure required to liquefy, transport, store and regasify LNG also makes it more expensive initially than natural gas. Technological advances have helped reduce the costs of the LNG supply chain over time. The document provides a table listing the typical composition of LNG, which is over 90% methane.

    Background Studies

    The increasing demand of energy sources around the world cause the growing
    demand for natural gas. By 2030 it is expected, that natural gas will be the primary
    source of energy approximately 30%. This contributes to the growing of liquefied
    natural gas (LNG) global market (Tesch, 2016). LNG is the cleanest form of natural
    gas that contains almost than 90% methane. It is colourless, odourless, no-corrosive
    and non-toxic. It is lighter than water by less than one-half. Its hazardous includes
    flammability, asphyxia and freezing. (Oil and Natural Gas Properties). LNG is
    produced by cooling natural gas to -161 C (Chamberlain, 2006) at which it becomes
    to liquid state. The cooling process reduces its volume (Shukri, 2004) by the factor of
    more than 600 times similar as reducing the volume of beach ball to ping-pong ball
    volume.
    LNG is more favourable compared to natural gas, includes flexibility to
    receive LNG from different countries and cheaper transportation cost for distance
    more than 2000 km (Adelt et al., 2011). A disadvantage of LNG compared to natural
    gas is the large cost of LNG chain which consist of liquefication, transportation,
    storage, and regasification. Nevertheless, with advancement in technologies and
    increasing number of LNG plants causes the cost of LNG chain to decrease
    (Gandolphe, 2005). By 2014 there were total of 86 liquefaction plans in 17 exporting
    countries (International Group of Liquefied Natural Gas Importers, 2013) Likewise,
    LNG import terminals and total countries with LNG receiving terminals increased by
    the end of 2015 (104 import terminals in 29 importing countries (International Group
    of Liquefied Natural Gas Importers, 2013)) Table 1.1 shows the composition of
    LNG.
