How does LNG behave if it is released to the environment?
LNG is always much colder than the temperature outside (-260 degrees), even if it is minus 20 degrees outside. If LNG is released into the environment, the temperature of the air and ground or surface that LNG is resting on will cause it to heat up and turn it back into natural gas. This process is called vaporization. This vapor, or natural gas, mixes and moves with the air. As it moves, it mixes more and more with the air which causes it to become dispersed, or less concentrated, as it moves away from the area where it was released. Vaporized LNG leaves no residue behind.
