About Us
|
|
The Center for Liquefied Natural Gas (CLNG) is a trade association of LNG producers, shippers, terminal operators and developers, energy trade associations and natural gas consumers. CLNG is a clearinghouse of educational and technical information. It also facilitates rational issue discussion and the development of public policies that support LNG’s increasing contribution toward meeting the nation’s energy needs and supporting economic growth. |

LNG and Its Many Uses 
Summary: Although the majority of Americans know little about liquefied natural gas, or LNG, it has been a part of the nation's energy mix for almost a century. LNG is used across the residential, commercial and industrial sectors for purposes as diverse as heating, cooking, generating electricity and manufacturing a wide variety of products. It is also used as a fuel for heavy-duty, mass transit and other vehicles.

LNG’s Role in the U.S. Energy Mix
Summary: Natural gas plays a prominent role in reducing America’s carbonfootprint and Liquefied Natural Gas, or LNG, is an important source ofthis cleanest burning of fossil fuels. More and more communities areturning to natural gas for electrical generation, heating and coolinghomes and businesses and for cooking food. Currently, 63 millionAmericans count on natural gas for these essential energy needs.Though much of demand is being met by domestic drilling and shaledevelopment, the U.S. consumes more natural gas than it produces. LNGis a key component in helping to fill America’s approximate 13 percentgap between domestic natural gas production and consumption.

Lifecycle Greenhouse Gas Emissions of LNG vs. Coal
Summary: As U.S. demand for electricity rises,so does
scrutiny of greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuels that provide the energy
that generates most of our electricity — coal and natural gas. With America’s
growing need for liquefied natural gas (LNG) to supplement our nation’s natural
gas supply, the Center for Liquefied Natural Gas (CLNG) sponsored an independent
analysis to quantify the greenhouse gas emissions released throughout the
lifecycle of electricity production — from fuel extraction to power plant
production.

Liquefied Natural Gas: Securing America’s Clean Energy Future
Summary: As we continue to seek solutions to combat global climate change, one energy source deserves a second look — Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG).
LNG is clean energy and will play an increasingly important role in helping our nation improve air quality and ensuring a secure and diverse energy supply in the coming years. LNG is simply natural gas in liquid form. LNG is non-toxic, odorless, and burns cleanly. It would not result in a slick if spilled on water or land, and it is easily integrated into our nation’s current energy infrastructure.
