One ton of LNG is equal to how much standard gas is introduced

How much of a standard natural gas is one ton of LNG?

The density of liquefied natural gas is 625 times that of methane under standard conditions. That is to say, 1 m3 of liquefied natural gas can be gasified into 625 m3 of natural gas, thereby showing the convenience of storage and transportation. LNG is an environmentally friendly energy source that can meet Euro IIII standards.

LNG density: 0.42 ~ 0.6g / cm3 according to the unit conversion 1 cubic meter equals 0.45 tons

The liquefied natural gas gasification ratio is 1 ton 1495 standard.

The weight of LNG is only 45% of the weight of the same volume of water.

According to some data, the typical calorific value of these fuels and the CO2 produced are:

Natural gas is 8300 kcal/m3, and the produced CO2 is 1.885kg;
Standard coal 7000 kcal / kg, the resulting CO2 is 3.6kg;
Crude oil 9200 kcal / kg;
The carbon content of crude oil is 85%, the CO2 produced is 3.1kg, each emits 10,000 kcal of heat, and the natural gas is 1.20m3, producing CO2, 2.26kg;

Crude oil is 1.09kg, producing CO2, 3.37kg (natural gas is 33% less than petroleum CO2 emissions)
Standard coal 1.73kg, producing CO2, 5.14kg (natural gas is 56% less than petroleum CO2 emissions)

Natural gas does reduce carbon emissions compared to coal and oil. And the magnitude is obvious. The government's drive to use LNG and natural gas will be strong, because reducing greenhouse gas emissions is now a politics.

Note: 1m3 liquefied natural gas (LNG) can gasify 600m3 natural gas; the mass of 1m3LNG is about 430-470Kg;
1KgLNG is equivalent to 1.27-1.39 cubic meters of natural gas, and 1m3 of natural gas is about 8500 kcal.
