Liquified Natural Gas:
OVERVIEW:

Canaport LNG is constructing a state-of-the-art liquefied natural gas (LNG) receiving and regassification terminal in Saint John, New Brunswick. The facility will begin operations in late 2008, becoming the first LNG regassification plant in Canada.

ABOUT LNG:

LNG, short for liquefied natural gas, is the liquid form of natural gas, a clear, colorless, non-toxic, liquid composed mainly of methane with very small quantities of ethane, propane and heavier hydrocarbons. Taken out of the ground as natural gas, it is turned into a liquid by being chilled to -162 degrees Celsius and can be kept at normal atmospheric pressures in specially designed tanks that work on principles similar to a thermos container.
