SOME COMMON APPLICATIONS OF LNG

06/11/2024

Predicted to become a new alternative fuel source in efforts to mitigate the impact of emissions on the environment, Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) is being evaluated as a replacement energy source for the present and future globally. Although in developed countries like the US, UK, and Japan, LNG has been widely used and applied for a long time. In the near future, LNG is also promised to become a commonly used fuel in Vietnam with various applications.

REPLACE	Replacement for coal, oil	LNG is widely used in industrial production with diverse applications such as drying, dehumidifying, burning, and baking, etc...
ADVANTAGE	Reduces CO2 emissions by approximately 40% compared to coal. Natural gas does not emit fine dust or SOx. NOx emissions are reduced by up to 90%.	Reduces CO2 emissions by approximately 15-20% compared to diesel. Natural gas does not emit particulate matter or SOx. NOx emissions are reduced by up to 90%.

Some applications of liquefied natural gas (LNG)

Industries that can use LNG for production include: Metallurgy; Mechanical engineering; Food; Plastics; Steel; Nitrogen production, fertilizers, etc.

In addition, in some European countries, liquefied natural gas (LNG) is also used in areas such as:

Domestic: LNG is used to serve human needs such as cooking, water, heating, dehumidifying, etc.
Commercial: For this sector, LNG is distributed to hospitals, schools, high-rise buildings, restaurants, etc. for cooking, air conditioning, dehumidifying or on-site power generation.
Transportation: LNG is used to replace traditional transportation fuels, with good performance and the ability to reduce environmental pollution, LNG is used as fuel for buses, trucks, trains, etc.
