Liquefied Natural Gas
Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) – According to the Department of Mines and Energy in Queensland, there are currently eight liquefied natural gas (LNG) projects proposed in Queensland with a total capital expenditure in excess of $40 billion. If all of the projects were to proceed, more than 50 million tones per annum (Mtpa) of LNG would be produced as a result of extracting CSG in Queensland. This would represent consumption of 3.3 TCF of CSG per year.
