L'énergie : le rôle de la liquéfaction du gaz naturel.

Function of natural gas liquefaction in energy structure.

Auteurs : FOERG W.

Résumé

International trade in liquefied natural gas (LNG) started in 1965 when LNG was shipped by cryogenic tankers from the liquefaction plant in Arzew, Algeria, to the receiving terminal in Canvey Island, England. Since that time, trade in LNG has grown steadily to an annual capacity of 106 million tons in 2001. This quantity was transported by a LNG tanker fleet comprising 128 ships with a capacity of up to 140 000 m3 per unit. The annual growth of this trade is approximately 8%. This paper deals with the entire LNG chain, i.e. liquefaction, shipping and regasification. The economics of this technology, as well as its future prospects, are addressed.
