ACHIEVEMENTS AND POTENTIAL OF LNG FOR ENERGY STORAGE AND TRANSPORT

The location and magnitude of world reserves of natural gas are reviewed, highlighting those factors which are likely to make LNG transport attractive. The bulk ocean transport of LNG is examined in terms of liquefier and tanker design. The economical and safety aspects of large scale LNG storage are discussed, particularly in the context of peak-load shaving. Other applications for satellite stations and as a fuel for vehicles and aircraft are examined.
