An LNG station (Liquefied Natural Gas station) is a facility that stores, distributes, and provides liquefied natural gas (LNG) for use as fuel for vehicles, such as trucks or buses. LNG is natural gas that has been cooled to a liquid state, reducing its volume and making it easier to store and transport.
These stations are part of the growing infrastructure supporting LNG as a cleaner alternative to traditional fuels, especially in heavy-duty transportation, where LNG is used in trucks, ships, and industrial machinery. LNG is considered an environmentally friendly fuel option because it produces lower levels of CO2, nitrogen oxides (NOx), and sulfur emissions compared to diesel or gasoline.
These stations are often located near highways, ports, or industrial areas to support fleets of vehicles that use LNG.
