LNG is formed when natural gas is cooled by a refrigeration process to temperatures of between −159 °C and −162 °C at atmospheric pressure and the gas condenses to a liquid. The gas in liquid form can then be carried economically by ships equipped with well-insulated tanks made from special steel.Web
