Bulk LNG for Australian Business
Elgas supplies bulk LNG in the eastern states and Tasmania.
It is a versatile energy source with stable pricing.
What is LNG?
LNG, or Liquefied Natural Gas, is simply natural gas in a liquid form.
It is the same natural gas that millions of Australian homeowners and businesses use every day.
Put simply, LNG is Natural Gas Made Portable™.
How is LNG Stored & Delivered?
LNG provides the opportunity to economically transport and store natural gas.
It is stored as a liquid until it is needed, at which point it is returned to its gaseous state.
The LNG is delivered in special cryogenic trucks.
Switching to LNG
Switching to LNG is very economically attractive project if your current minimum consumption is 1 tonne or 50GJ per day or more.
LNG price stability is also quite favourable, with long term supply agreements available.
LNG Application Projects
RoadTransport
LNG as an alternative fuel to diesel for road transportation has been in development in Australia since 2001.
Over 200 heavy duty vehicles are now in daily operation.
Power Generation
LNG is a suitable alternative to diesel for the remote power generation market.
These remote power generating plants provide electricity for towns or mine sites and can vary in size from 1 MW to 50MW.
Mining and Industrial
Mining and industrial markets have considerable potential employ LNG into their operations.
Large quantities of diesel are consumed by mining vehicles, making them the perfect application for LNG substitution.
Railroads
Rail is also a potential LNG application.
LNG to replace diesel for locomotives has increased substantially in the past few years and LNG powered locomotives are already in use in other countries.
Ships
Ships with short repetitive routes are also a viable LNG use.
Ferries are a prime example of this application.
