Natural gas liquefaction is the process of cooling natural gas to a liquid state at around -162°C, which reduces its volume by approximately 600 times, making it easier and more economical to transport and store. This process is critical for global energy trade, enabling the transportation of natural gas to regions not connected by pipelines.

Energy trade involves the exchange of energy commodities, such as oil, natural gas, coal, and electricity, between countries or regions, facilitating global energy supply and demand balance. It plays a critical role in economic development, energy security, and the transition to sustainable energy systems by enabling access to diverse energy resources and technologies.
