Consider the following statements:1. Liquefied natural gas (LNG) is liquefied under extremely cold temperatures and high pressure to facilitate storage or transportation in specially designed vessels.2. The first LNG terminal in India was built in Hassan.3. Natural gas liquids (NGL) are separated from LPG and these include ethane, propane, butane and natural gasoline.Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
✓ Correct answer: b) 1 and 3
ExplanationLNG is natural gas that has been cooled to a liquid form, making it easier to transport across long distances where pipelines are not feasible.Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) and Natural Gas Liquids (NGL) play crucial roles in the global energy market, facilitating the storage, transportation, and consumption of natural gas.Statement 1 is correct: LNG is natural gas cooled to approximately -162°C at normal atmospheric pressure, making it a liquid for ease of storage and transportation in specialized cryogenic tanks.Statement 2 is incorrect : The first LNG terminal in India was built at Dahej, Gujarat, not Hassan.Statement 3 is correct: Natural Gas Liquids (NGLs), such as ethane, propane, butane, and natural gasoline, are extracted from natural gas and can be separated from LPG.350
