As global demand for natural gas grows, industry has to find ways to transport the gas from where it is produced to where it is needed. Over relatively short distances, the gas can be transported through pipelines, however, when distances are too great, we do it a different way - by cooling the gas to -162 degrees Celsius, we liquefy the gas turning into LNG.
By cooling, condensing, and cleaning the gas, we are able to put it in ships and safely transport it over great distances to where it is needed.
Shell is proud to have provided the gas for the first LNG project more than 50 years ago and today we are the world's largest provider of LNG. We continue to look for ways to safely develop and transport natural gas around the world, including Shell's Floating LNG (FLNG) project in North West Australia. Together with our partners, we are building the world's first off shore production and liquefaction facility, called Prelude.
