Where is LNG produced?
LNG can be produced in about half of the almost 90 LNG storage locations in the United States and Canada operated by local gas utilities. In addition, several cryogenic natural gas extraction plants in the gas-producing states now produce LNG as a sidestream. Large liquefaction plants are being built specifically to produce LNG for fuel, and there are now about 70 liquefaction facilities in the United States, compared with 170 gasoline refineries.

Cylinders in Accidents A pressurized gas cylinder is probably the strongest component on the vehicle. Vehicles that totally destroyed in collisions show the only discernible component being the intact gas cylinder. It is unlikely that cylinders will rupture due to collision impact. Regarding the danger of fire from leaking cylinders, all we have is the experience to date that indicates that such an event is unlikely to occur. In North America there was a problem with leaking type 4 designs from a particular manufacturer, but there has never b
