Liquified natural gas (LNG) Liquified natural gas (LNG) is the liquid form of natural gas at cryogenic temperature of â265Â°F (â160Â°C). When natural gas is turned into LNG, its volume shrinks by a factor of approximately 600. This reduction in volume enables the gas to be transported economically over long distances.
