LNG is a clean and efficient energy source. As imported LNG helps energy consuming countries to diversify their energy supply and ensure energy security, while export LNG helps natural gas producing countries to effectively develop natural gas resources, increase foreign exchange earnings and promote national economic development, LNG trade is becoming a new hot spot in the global energy market.

Natural gas is more and more popular as a clean energy. LNG is listed as the preferred fuel in many countries. The proportion of natural gas in energy supply is increasing rapidly. Liquefied natural gas (LNG) is growing at a high rate of about 12% per year, becoming one of the fastest growing energy industries in the world. In recent years, global LNG production and trade have become increasingly active, LNG has become a scarce clean resource, and is becoming a new hotspot in the world oil and gas industry. In order to ensure the diversification of energy supply and improve the energy consumption structure, some big energy consuming countries pay more and more attention to the introduction of LNG. Japan, Korea, the United States and Europe are building LNG receiving stations on a large scale. Big international oil companies have shifted their new profit growth point to LNG business, which will become the next hot energy commodity after oil.
