LNG as an energy source

Technical principles and application potential

The development sustainable energy solutions is becoming increasingly important in industrial heat supply. Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) It is establishing itself as an innovative option. This article analyses the technical principles and documents Application options of LNG systems.

Technical characteristics

The modern mobile heat supply has developed into a sophisticated technology. Current systems, such as those developed by TENACON, cover service areas of 560 to 1,100 kW off. This scalability enables flexible use in different industrial contexts.

LNG is characterized by specific physical properties:

  • Calorific value of 11.6 kWh/m³ in gaseous state
  • expansion ratio of 1:600 (one liter of LNG results in 600 liters of reevaporated natural gas)
  • Suitable for mobile and decentralized energy supply
  • independence of pipeline infrastructure

Environmental aspects

LNG is characterized by specific physical properties:

  • Lower CO₂ emissions
  • Almost none Particulate matter pollution
  • Reduced Sulphur oxide emissions
  • No water hazard during transportation and storage

Technical requirements

The implementation of LNG systems requires specific technical measures:

Thermal insulation:

  • Comprehensive thermal insulation concept for cryogenic temperatures
  • Evaporation rate management

Safety technology:

  • Special material requirements for low-temperature applications
  • Multiple security systems
  • Continuous monitoring

Security of supply

The analysis of the supply situation shows:

  • Global natural gas reserves exceed oil reserves by two to three times
  • Diversified sources of supply possible
  • Flexible transport options through independence from pipeline infrastructure

future prospects

The documented technical development of LNG systems shows clear trends:

  • Preparing for Hydrogen usage
  • integration into existing energy systems
  • optimization The energy efficiency
  • Development safety technology
