What's so interesting and current about it? Cars drove on LNG (propane) 50 years ago.
- blamazon 4y agoOh, you are right, I should be more specific, I intend to refer to the practice of bulk transport of atmospheric pressure LNG at globalized scale.
- mannykannot 4y agoPropane is much easier to use than LNG (which is mostly methane) as it remains liquid at ordinary outdoor temperatures with relatively moderate pressure.
- mercutio2 4y agoPropane is a completely different molecule from LNG which is mostly methane. Methane is not liquid at normal surface temperatures even at high pressure; propane is.
- lazide 4y agoPropane is a refined, and somewhat synthesized molecule. LNG is rather raw, and contains a lot of free hydrogen, methane, and sometimes other contaminants like sulphur (though that is mostly lower grades). Think of the difference between 91 octane gas at a pump vs slightly filtered crude oil.
