LIQUEFIED NATURAL GAS ‐ SOME MYTHS DEBUNKED

Edward Symonds

Natural Resources Forum, 1978, vol. 2, issue 2, 171-176

Abstract: With natural gas being flared in major producing countries in volumes that would more than satisfy the entire energy needs of developing Africa, world attention is focusing on ways of shipping this premium fuel from sources where it is in surplus to destinations where it is urgently needed. Development and successful operation of liquefied natural gas (LNG) systems provide the means for achieving the purpose. The author reviews six misconceptions that have caused energy planners to underestimate the potential of this new transportation mode. He concludes that, given the necessary financing, international LNG movements could reach some 18 billion cubic feet daily by 1985, representing a ten‐fold jump in the traffic.
