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.

Out of that laboratory was to come perhaps the greatest invention of the age - a successful incandescent electric lamp. By 1890, Edison established the Edison General Electric Company by bringing his various businesses together.
