Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) is a critical energy resource, serving as a cleaner alternative to traditional fossil fuels. LNG is produced by cooling natural gas to approximately -162°C (-260°F), which reduces its volume by about 600 times, making it easier to store and transport. This liquefaction process enables the efficient Latin America trade of natural gas, allowing regions with excess supply to export LNG to areas with high demand.
In Latin America, LNG plays a significant role in power generation, industrial applications, and transportation. As countries transition towards lower-carbon energy sources, LNG demand is increasing due to its lower greenhouse gas emissions compared to coal and oil. The Latin America LNG market encompasses the entire value chain, including liquefaction, transportation, regasification, and distribution.
