The Company has been set up with the objective to, develop,
construct, own and operate Liquefied Natural Gas Re-gasification
Terminals.
The PLL presently owns and operates following two LNG receiving,
storage and re-gasification terminal:
Dahej LNG Terminal of ten (10) MMTPA capacity located at Dahej, Gujarat.
Capacity of this LNG terminal is being expanded to 15 MMTPA.
Kochi LNG Terminal of capacity 5 MMTPA.

It is natural gas in liquid form.
LNG is a Cryogenic liquid with temperature in theorder of -160 C.
It contains in varying proportion the followingcompounds Methane (CH4)– It is the main component Ethane (C2H6) Propane(C3H8) Butane(C4H10) Traces of pentane and higher species Nitrogen(N2) Impurities such as sulphur, mercury etc. (in ppm).
LNG is colorless
What is LNG?
5
The density of LNG is around 460 kg/m3.
The boiling point of LNG is around–160 C.
The LNG flammability limits is
Lower Flammability limit – 5%
Upper flammability limit – 15%
The Auto ignition temperature of LNG is 540 C
Energy density with repect to diesel is 60%
LNG is stored in costly cryogenic tanks
When used as fuel it emits less CO2
- 50% with respect to coal
-33% with respect to oil

Use of LNG
The purpose of producing LNG is to facilitate the
transportation of Natural Gas to longer distance.
What is produced is Natural Gas & what is consumed is
Natural Gas only.

Key drivers
• The key drivers for SSLNG are environmental, economic
and geopolitical.
• Benefits of LNG in terms of CO2, SOx, NOx and particulate
emissions
• Stricter regulations on the marine sector are stimulating the
use of SSLNG as bunker fuel in Europe
• Key drivers in Latin America are monetization of stranded
gas supplies and need to reach remote-located consumers

Satellite LNG Hub & LNG BY ROAD
• India has a large road network and not all areas
are connected by gas pipeline grid
• There are significant number of isolated and
scattered potential small scale consumers of gas
(Industrial & Domestic)
• PLL has started such activities since 2007
through its promoters, BPCL & IOC, and
presently supplies around 200 to 300 trucks in a
month.
• Several new customers are waiting for supply of

LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas): Natural gas cooled to–160 deg C and is in liquid state
CNG (Compressed Natural Gas):Natural gascompressed to high pressure(200 barg)and is ingaseous state
PNG (Piped Natural Gas):Natural gas compressedto low pressure(3 barg)and is in gaseous state
LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas):Hydrocarbongas(mainly Propane and Butane) in refrigerated orin pressurized condition and is in liquid state
Basic Terminology
Natural Gas as fuel in vehicles
• Natural gas is used two ways in heavy vehicles
worldwide:
• Compressed natural gas (CNG)
– Now used most frequently
– Gas is stored at 210 to 250 bar
– Fuel system volume about 6 times that of diesel fuel
• Liquefied natural gas– Natural gas is stored as a liquid at around -160 °C (-260
°F)
– Fuel system volume about twice that of diesel fuel.
Supply for NGVs – CNG Vs LNG Route
• CNG Station every 7.5 Km
• 36 CNG Filling stations
• 300 Km pipeline
• LCNG Station every 7.5 Km
• 36 LCNG Filling stations
• 5-6 LNGTrailers
By installation of LCNG stations, pipeline infrastructure is not required for the
use of CNG in vehicles. Same LCNG station can be used to serve the near by
domestic consumer / township.
LNG Buses Plying In Asia
Around 40 LNG buses are running in Sanya which is a city in southern Hainan
province of China.
More than 1000 LNG buses are running in China.
In Osaka City, Japan LNG buses are running for public transport.
