LNG is short for ‘Liquefied natural gas’. When it is liquefied, it has an advantage to be transported in large quantities. In 2022, the Eemshaven of Groningen was the location where a new LNG-terminal has been set up in record pace. Today, Hans Coenen from Gasunie will discuss this process, the importance for the Netherlands about this terminal and the role of LNG in the energy transition.
Examples of where LNG is currently used are trucks and the maritime sector. An advantage of LNG is that the shift from LNG to Bio-LNG is achievable without major changes. Bio-LNG has significantly lower emissions, what could be a big step towards a carbon free society.
