India’s First LNG Facility Plant

Context: Union Minister inaugurated India’s first LNG facility plant at Nagpur, Maharashtra.

Details

  • The country’s first Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) facility plant has been set up by Baidyanath Ayurvedic Group (private sector) on Kamptee Road near Nagpur Jabalpur Highway.

Liquified Natural Gas (LNG)

  • LNG is a clear, colourless and non-toxic liquid that forms when natural gas is cooled to -162ºC (-260ºF).
  • The cooling process shrinks the volume of the gas 600 times, making it easier and safer to store and ship. In its liquid state, LNG will not ignite.
  • When LNG reaches its destination, it is turned back into a gas at regasification plants.
  • It is then piped to homes, businesses and industries where it is burnt for heat or to generate electricity.
  • LNG is now also emerging as a cost-competitive and cleaner transport fuel, especially for shipping and heavy-duty road transport.
  • It has the potential to decrease logistics cost and create many job opportunities also.
  • LNG is the fuel of the future and will revolutionize the transport sector.
