Gail intends to build modest liquefaction plants to meet the demand for natural gas in places without pipeline access and to assist in transporting gas from remote locations.
Two small-scale liquefaction skids that can produce liquefied natural gas (LNG) on a trial basis have been ordered by GAIL.
“These plants will help in distribution of natural gas through liquefaction in new city gas distribution areas, liquefaction of gas at isolated fields and will support setting-up of LNG fueling stations and in bunkering. It will be first of its kind in the country to introduce portable and scalable liquefaction units.” the company said.
