Which of the following is a major application of liquefied natural gas (LNG)?
-
A.
Feedstock for plastic production
-
B.
Raw material for fertiliser production
-
C.
Fuel for power generation
-
D.
Coolant in industrial processes
Correct Answer:
C. Fuel for power generation
Explanation:
Liquefied natural gas (LNG) is predominantly utilized as a fuel source for power generation and heating because it is a cleaner-burning alternative to coal or oil. By cooling natural gas to extremely low temperatures, it transforms into a liquid state, significantly reducing its volume and making it much more efficient to transport across long distances where pipelines are unavailable. Once it reaches its destination, the LNG is regasified and burned in power plants to produce electricity, serving as a critical component of the global energy supply chain.
