Description

Sustainable Liquefied Natural Gas: Concepts and Applications Moving Towards Net Zero Supply Chains, the latest release in The Fundamentals and Sustainable Advances in Natural Gas Science and Engineering series, delivers many of the technical fundamentals needed in the natural gas industry with an additional sustainability lens. Introductory topics include liquefication and separation technology. Advanced applications include improving operational efficiency for carriers and cargo shipping schedules, exploiting cold energy for regasification operations, and an outlook on ways to further reduce emissions.

Supported by corporate and academic contributors along with two well-distinguished editors, this book provides today’s natural gas engineers the knowledge to adjust liquefied natural gas operations in a more environmentally sustainable way.

Key features

  • Provides case studies and visuals to illustrate how new principles can be applied in practical situations
  • Presents innovative advances that are leading to improved environmental performance
  • Bridges theory and applications with methods and examples from worldwide contributors in academia and industry

Readership

Natural gas engineers, production engineers, offshore engineers, carbon capture researchers, LNG researchers
