Utilization of Cold Energy from LNG Regasification Process: A Review of Current Trends

Liquified natural gas (LNG) is a clean primary energy source that growing in popularity due to the distance between (NG)-producing countries and importing countries. The large amount of cold stored LNG presents an opportunity for sustainable technologies recover utilize this energy. This can enhance efficiency regasification terminals economic viability supply chain. form low temperatures referred as When regasified, or converted back into its gaseous form, released. process involves heating LNG, which causes it vaporize release current state-of-the-art techniques utilization, including power generation, air separation, traditional desalination, cryogenics carbon dioxide (CO2) capture are discussed review. While most utilization systems presented, potential future applications also discussed. commercialization technologies, such improvement strategies becoming increasingly important industry.
