In early 2016 the U.S. barely exported any liquified natural gas at all. Now it’s the leading exporter of the fossil fuel — on track to way surpass Qatar and Australia. How did that happen? On the NPR show, they talk to one of the men who triggered the American exporting revolution.
Liquefied natural gas (LNG) is natural gas (predominantly methane, CH4, with some mixture of ethane, C2H6) that has been cooled down to liquid form for ease and safety of non-pressurized storage or transport. It takes up about 1/600th the volume of natural gas in the gaseous state (at standard conditions for temperature and pressure).
