Ramboll is engaged in several liquefied natural gas (LNG) projects. For instance, we investigate the possibilities of setting up LNG import facilities in Estonia, Finland and Sweden.
In the EU Commission’s Baltic Energy Market Interconnection Plan (BEMIP) written by Ramboll, LNG was identified as a method to increase security of supply through diversifying gas import.
Ramboll’s work with LNG in the Baltic Region includes everything from economic market studies to technical concepts for import of LNG, including risk assessment, preliminary process and layout studies.
Facts about Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG)
When natural gas is cooled to its liquid state at approximately -160 degrees Celsius, the volume is reduced about 600 times. This makes it possible to transport the liquid gas in specially designed LNG cargo ships. As such, gas from remote and isolated gas fields is accessible to markets worldwide. Upon arrival, the LNG is then re-gasified and distributed as natural gas via the usual land pipelines.
