Liquefied natural gas (LNG) compresses to a small fraction of its original volume (approximately 1/600) under liquefaction. Liquefaction reduces the volume of natural gas making it much more economical to transport. With the amount of flammable material that LNG contains, it has the potential to be an extremely dangerous chemical, if handled improperly.
