Liquefied natural gas

Liquefied natural gas (LNG) is natural gas (predominantly methane, CH4) that has been converted to liquid form for ease of storage or transport. It takes up about 1/600th the volume of natural gas in the gaseous state. It is odorless, colorless, non-toxic and non-corrosive. Hazards include flammability after vaporization into a gaseous state, freezing and asphyxia. The liquefaction process involves removal of certain components, such as dust, acid gases, helium, water, and heavy hydrocarbons, which could cause difficulty downstream. The natural gas is then condensed into a liquid at close to atmospheric pressure by cooling it to approximately −162 °C (−260 °F); maximum transport pressure is set at around 25 kPa (4 psi).

LNG achieves a higher reduction in volume than compressed natural gas (CNG) so that the (volumetric) energy density of LNG is 2.4 times greater than that of CNG or 60 percent that of diesel fuel. This makes LNG cost efficient to transport over long distances where pipelines do not exist. Specially designed cryogenic sea vessels (LNG carriers) or cryogenic road tankers are used for its transport. LNG is principally used for transporting natural gas to markets, where it is regasified and distributed as pipeline natural gas. It can be used in natural gas vehicles, although it is more common to design vehicles to use compressed natural gas. Its relatively high cost of production and the need to store it in expensive cryogenic tanks have hindered widespread commercial use. Despite these drawbacks, on energy basis LNG production is expected to hit 10% of the global crude production by 2020.(see LNG Trade)

Shock Me Into Love

by: Lenka

Ah ah oh
Ah ah oh
Just when you think that it will never get you
It comes and throws a lightening bolt right at you
Before you know and now your pulse is racin'
And now your blood in runnin' hot like crazy
Oh oh oh ah ah oh
Give it everything, everything that ya got
Oh oh oh ah ah oh
Give it everything, everything that you've got
No, I never knew that I could feel this way (Feel this way)
No, I never had it running through by veins (Through my veins)
No, I never thought that it could be enough
Suddenly you, you shock me into love
Into love
It's waiting for you right around the corner
It doesn't have the decency to warn ya
It comes along taps you on the shoulder
You fall into the arms that now will hold ya
Oh oh oh ah ah oh
Give it everything, everything that ya got
Oh oh oh ah ah oh
Give it everything, everything that you've got
No, I never knew that I could feel this way (Feel this way)
No, I never had it running through by veins (Through my veins)
No, I never thought that it could be enough
Suddenly you, you shock me into love
Ah ah oh
Into love
Ah ah oh
Electricity
Shoots from you to me
Electricity
Shoots from you to me
No, I never knew that I could feel this way (Feel this way)
No, I never had it running through by veins (Through my veins)
No, I never thought that it could be enough
Suddenly you, you shock me into love
No, I never knew that I could feel this way (Feel this way)
No, I never had it running through by veins (Through my veins)
No, I never thought that it could be enough
Suddenly you, you shock me into love
Ah ah oh
Into love
Ah ah oh
