How is LNG changed back into natural gas?
LNG is changed back into natural gas simply by heating it. At LNG facilities, this is done in heat exchangers called vaporizers. LNG is pumped from the storage tanks to the vaporizers, where it is then heated and turned back into its gaseous form – natural gas. This is called regasification. Heat for the vaporizers will come from the burning of small amounts of natural gas.
