Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about LNG, our services, and franchise opportunities.
What is LNG?
Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) is natural gas that has been cooled to -260°F (-162°C), at which point it becomes a liquid. This process reduces its volume by approximately 600 times, making it more efficient to transport and store.
Is LNG safe?
Yes, LNG has an excellent safety record. It is non-toxic and non-corrosive. If spilled, LNG quickly evaporates and leaves no residue. The industry follows strict safety standards for storage, transportation, and handling.
What are the environmental benefits of LNG?
LNG produces significantly fewer emissions than diesel, coal, or oil. It generates up to 30% less CO₂, 90% less NOx, and virtually no sulfur dioxide or particulate matter, making it one of the cleanest fossil fuels available.
How is LNG different from CNG?
While both are forms of natural gas, LNG is cooled to a liquid state for storage and transport, while Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) remains in gaseous form but is stored under high pressure. LNG has a higher energy density than CNG.
What industries use LNG?
LNG is used across various industries including transportation (heavy-duty trucks, marine vessels), manufacturing, power generation, and as a heating fuel for commercial and residential applications in areas without pipeline access.
What is peak shaving?
Peak shaving is the process of storing natural gas during periods of low demand and using it during high-demand periods. This helps utilities and industrial customers manage their energy costs and ensure supply reliability.
How much does it cost to convert a fleet to LNG?
The cost varies depending on fleet size and vehicle type. While LNG vehicles typically cost more upfront than diesel vehicles, the lower fuel costs often result in a positive return on investment within 2-3 years for high-mileage applications.
What support does TRSV Gas provide to franchisees?
TRSV Gas provides comprehensive support including initial training, ongoing operational guidance, marketing assistance, supply chain management, technology systems, and business development resources to help franchisees succeed.
