Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) terminals are specially built port terminals for loading, storing, and unloading natural gas onto various LNG carrier ships. In other words, the terminals are heavily used to import and export LNG to various locations across the world. Terminals with a capacity of more than 2 million metric tonnes per year are classified as large-scale LNG terminals (MMTPA). The number of LNG importing countries with higher regasification capacity outnumbers those with lower liquefaction capacity. The number of terminals and their capacities are mostly controlled by the demand for natural gas in various countries. Natural gas is a cleaner fuel than crude oil, and it helps to minimise air pollution, which helps to reduce diseases carried by many hazardous macro particles in the air.
