  2. Liquefied natural gas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquefied_natural_gas

    The heating value depends on the source of gas that is used and the process that is used to liquefy the gas. The range of heating value can span ±10 to 15 percent. A typical value of the higher heating value of LNG is approximately 50 MJ/kg or 21,500 BTU/lb. [2] A typical value of the lower heating value of LNG is 45 MJ/kg or 19,350 BTU/lb.

  3. LNG spill - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LNG_spill

    As LNG warms above its storage temperature, the liquid begins to vaporize. The resulting gas produced by this warming is typically methane, which is the major component (with some ethane) of natural gas and one of the most potent and hazardous greenhouse gases. If a spill occurs and the vapor does not ignite, it would build to higher ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1973_Staten_Island_gas...

    The explosion resulted in a moratorium on liquefied natural gas storage facilities in New York state. [1] The construction of two under-construction tanks in Rossville was subsequently abandoned. [4] [18] The Public Service Electric and Gas Company attempted to store natural gas in the two tanks, but dropped these plans in 1984 due to ...

    The Biden administration is pausing approvals of pending applications for liquefied natural gas exports to countries with which the U.S. does not have free trade agreements, citing environmental ...

  8. Gas leak - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_leak

    A gas leak refers to a leak of natural gas or another gaseous product from a pipeline or other containment into any area where the gas should not be present. Gas leaks can be hazardous to health as well as the environment. Even a small leak into a building or other confined space may gradually build up an explosive or lethal gas concentration. [1]

  9. Rapid phase transition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rapid_phase_transition

    Rapid phase transition or RPT is an explosive boiling phenomenon realized in liquefied natural gas (LNG) incidents, in which LNG vaporizes violently upon coming in contact with water causing what is known as a physical explosion.
