What is LNG
LNG or liquefied natural gas, essentially composed of methane, is an extremely clean fossil fuel that reduces CO2, nitrogen oxide and sulfur dioxide emissions compared to coal and oil.
Natural gas ‘s ability to reduce its volume by 600 times when liquefied makes it an efficient energy solution for transportation and storage.
With global demand growing rapidly, LNG is emerging as an environmentally friendly and economical alternative to traditional fuels, playing an important role in the energy system, especially in Italy where a replacement for petroleum derivatives is actively underway.
BIOGNL: a renewable energy source for transportation and industry
BIOGNL or biogas is a liquefied biofuel produced from biomass, which can be used in various sectors, including transportation and industry.
In the transportation sector, BIOGNL can be used as a fuel for heavy vehicles, such as trucks and buses, offering a cleaner alternative to traditional fuels. It can be used in existing compressed natural gas(CNG) or liquefied natural gas(LNG) vehicles.
In industry, BIOGNL can be used as an energy source for energy-intensive industrial processes, to produce heat and steam, or to generate electricity through cogeneration plants.
The characteristics of LNG
Liquefied natural gas has a calorific value of about 13,000 Kcal/KG, a value that establishes it as a product among those with the highest calorific value.
Characteristics that make liquefied natural gas a safe, clean and highly energetic product. The liquid form of LNG allows large quantities to be stored in relatively small spaces. Liquefied natural gas is a clean energy source with a very low environmental impact.
In fact, it contains no sulfur and emits very low amounts of carbon dioxide and nitrogen oxide during combustion.
How we transport LNG
The Vulcan Corridor is expanding its network throughout Italy, doubling its presence to facilitate the distribution of liquefied natural gas from North to South. Vulcan provides LNG transportation through value chain management, from supply to final distribution.
Our outlets are modern, efficient and suitable for the service of heavy transport vehicles.
In addition, the project includes expansion in Europe, with active liquefied natural gas distribution networks in Serbia, Romania and Bulgaria.
Why choose LNG
Liquefied natural gas (LNG) offers several advantages, includingecology, safety, versatility, andcost-effectiveness. It is considered an environmentally friendly fuel because it is odorless, non-toxic, non-corrosive and lighter than air, which allows it to be dispersed quickly in the event of an accidental spill.
In addition, LNG can be transported over long distances by LNG carriers, reaching remote areas and places not connected by international pipelines. The ease of transporting liquefied natural gas and the ability to store large amounts of energy in small volumes make it cost-effective.
