Regasification is the process of converting liquefied natural gas (LNG) back into its gaseous state for distribution through pipelines to end users. This process is crucial for the transportation and utilization of natural gas, allowing for efficient and flexible energy supply across regions.

Regasification

Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) is natural gas that has been cooled to a liquid state, at about -162°C, for ease and safety of non-pressurized storage or transport. It occupies approximately 1/600th the volume of natural gas in the gaseous state, making it a highly efficient way to move energy across long distances where pipelines are not feasible.

The gaseous state is a form of matter where particles are in constant, rapid motion and fill up the entire volume available to them, resulting in no definite shape or volume. This state is characterized by low density and high kinetic energy compared to solids and liquids, due to the large distances between particles and minimal intermolecular forces.
