U.S., Oct. 4 -- Energy Digital takes a look at liquefied natural gas (LNG) and the organisations that are producing and distributing it in the fast-growing industry.

With global energy demand expected to grow by a further 18% by 2035, over the coming decades liquefied natural gas (LNG) is predicted to be a fast-growing fossil fuel of choice due to its vast quantity, lesser environmental impacts over coal and oil, versatility and safety. LNG trade increased from 100mn tonnes in 2000 to nearly 300mn tonnes in 2017.

LNG is the liquification process of natural gas - extracted from beneath the earth's crust -predominantly comprised of methane. The natural gas is cooled to -162 deg C (-260 deg F) in order to liquify it and, as a result, occup...
