LNG is liquefied natural gas, LNG is mostly methane which is temporarily cooled in order to liquefy the gas. LNG must be refigerated to a cryogenic temperature of about -162C (-260F) in order to liquefy the gas and stays at or slightly above atmospheric pressure. LNG must be refrigerated because room temperature is above the critical point of methane, meaning no liquid can be condensed at this temperature (no matter what the pressure is). An LNG carrier is a tank ship designed for transporting liquefied natural gas (LNG). LPG is liquefied petroleum gas. LPG is a mixture of propane and butane (in no specific proportion) which is stored in a pressurized container and is stored at room temperature. Butane and propane have a higher critical point, and therefore pressurization is sufficient to liquefy the fuel. An LPG carrier is a gas carrier ship designed for transporting liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) in bulk.
