Overview:
The gas industry is a major supplier of energy to Australian homes and factories supplying around 30% of industry energy needs and 20% of domestic needs.
Gas is distributed in the form of natural gas, which is carried by pipeline systems or as in liquid petroleum gas (LPG) which is transported and stored in cylinders prior to integration into the Gas Distribution pipline network.
When natural gas is chilled to minus 160 degrees it forms liquid natural gas or LNG which can also be carried in tankers or cylinders.
