APPLICATIONS OF LNG
It is expected to become a new alternative fuel source in the face of efforts to reduce the impact of emissions on the environment. Liquefied natural gas (LNG) is being evaluated as an alternative energy source for present and future globally. Although in developed countries such as the US, UK, and Japan, LNG has been widely used and applied for a long time. In the near future, LNG is also promised to become a commonly used fuel in Vietnam with many different applications.
