Liquefied Natural Gas

Aspire Energy seeks opportunities to invest in small scale energy resources, including liquefied natural gas (LNG).

Liquefying natural gas provides a means of moving natural gas long distances where pipeline transport is not feasible. LNG is an alternative solution for regions which are too distant from end-use markets to be connected by a pipeline.

Benefits

  • Efficient for maintaining operations during maintenance of gas infrastructure.
  • Cost–effective for commercial and industrial users who are not connected to the gas grid.
  • Utilized in the transportation sector, including transit fleets, high-horsepower off-road sectors such as mining and marine uses, i.e. ferries.
  • Allows more energy to be stored onboard a vehicle in a smaller volume.
  • Vehicles fueled by natural gas release 20%-29% fewer greenhouse gas emissions on a well-to-wheel basis than a comparable gasoline or diesel-fueled vehicle.
