LNG | MCQs

Explanation

The world's largest exporter of liquefied natural gas (LNG) in 2022 was the United States, with an export volume of 114.4 billion cubic meters.

At that time, Qatar ranked second.

LNG is natural gas that been made into a liquid by cooling to -260 degrees Fahrenheit/-162 degrees Celsius for shipping and storage purposes.

China imports more liquefied natural gas (LNG) than any other country in the world.

In 2023, China purchased some 97.8 billion cubic meters worth of LNG.

Explanation

The North-South gas pipeline, 1122-km in length with a 42-inch diameter, and which would annually transport around 12.4 billion cubic meters (bcm) of LNG from Karachi to Punjab in Pakistan.

Explanation

The Gwadar GasPort Limited (GGPL) plans to invest $94.04 million in a ‘virtual pipeline’ to deliver imported liquefied natural gas (LNG) at the doorsteps of the industrial and other private sector consumers at competitive prices via cryogenic bowsers.

Explanation

• LNG, or liquefied natural gas, is simply natural gas converted into a liquid by cooling it to -260°F (−162 °C).
• This process reduces its volume by a factor of more than 600.
• This allows natural gas to be transported efficiently by sea.
• LNG is mainly constituted of 90% methane and some mixture of ethane, propane, butane, some heavier alkanes, and nitrogen.
• It is odorless, colorless, non-toxic, and non-corrosive.
