How safe is LNG?
A. In its liquid state, LNG cannot burn because it contains no oxygen. LNG only burns when gasified. When LNG is returned to its gaseous state it behaves the same as the natural gas currently used by our customers. Natural gas is non-toxic and lighter than air, so it dissipates harmlessly into the atmosphere. Safe use of natural gas requires maintenance and proper use and operation of appliances and equipment. It is always a good idea to have a licensed heating contractor or SDG&E check your gas appliances every year.
