Glossary
- LNG
- Liquefied natural gas: natural gas cooled to about -162 C so it can be stored and shipped in insulated tanks at near-atmospheric pressure.
- Liquefaction train
- A modular production line in an LNG plant that cools and liquefies gas; train capacity is usually quoted in million tonnes per annum.
- Regasification terminal
- An import facility that warms LNG back into gas for pipeline or grid injection, often using seawater, air or waste heat.
- FSRU
- Floating storage and regasification unit: a moored vessel that receives, stores and regasifies LNG, often used for faster import capacity than an onshore terminal.
- FLNG
- Floating LNG production facility that liquefies gas offshore, avoiding long subsea pipelines to shore.
- LNG carrier
- A specialised ship with insulated membrane or Moss-type tanks that transports LNG at cryogenic temperature.
- Boil-off gas
- LNG vapour that evaporates from stored cargo or tanks; it must be reliquefied, burned or managed to control tank pressure.
- Reliquefaction
- Onboard or terminal process that cools boil-off gas back into liquid so cargo is not lost.
- LNG bunkering
- Supply of LNG as marine fuel to ships, delivered by truck, bunker vessel or terminal pipeline.
- Small-scale LNG
- LNG supply chains below conventional large-train scale, including satellite terminals, road tankers and industrial or marine fuel users.
- Methane slip
- Unburned methane released during gas engine operation or equipment venting; it is a focus for emissions rules and engine design.
- CCS
- Carbon capture and storage: capturing CO2 from gas processing, power or industrial sources and storing it geologically.
- EPC contractor
- Engineering, procurement and construction firm responsible for delivering LNG plants, terminals or associated infrastructure.
- Open season
- A capacity booking process in which shippers bid for terminal, pipeline or storage capacity before final investment decisions.
