LNG: Utilization of Cold
For Power Generation
the working fluid in an ORC undergoes compression, evaporation, expansion, and condensation to generate
power. The condensation process uses LNG as a heat sink.

LNG: Utilization of Cold
For Air Separation
A distillation column is used in the cryogenic air separation process to lower the temperature of the air to
the cryogenic temperature (below −195 ◦C at atmospheric pressure) and then separates the air into its
component gases, such as oxygen and nitrogen. The integration of an ASU with LNG vaporization can be a
useful way to utilize LNG cold energy and improve energy efficiency

LNG: Utilization of Cold
For Desalination
Desalination is a process that involves the removal of mineral components found in seawater through the
use of a significant amount of energy through two common methods, reverse osmosis (RO), multi-stage
flash distillation (MSF), and freeze desalination (FD).

Freeze desalination (FD).

LNG: Utilization of Cold
For CO2 Capture
Liquification is the first step in the cryogenic CO2 capture process, which is a method for extracting CO2
from exhaust gas. The standard cryogenic CO2 capture method calls for an external refrigeration cycle to
be used in order to chill and liquefy CO2, which necessitates a large power consumption.

In order to obtain liquid CO2, LNG is used to cool the flue gas that is emitted from the boiler to a
temperature that is lower than the temperature at which CO2 will condense in the condenser.

LNG: Utilization of Cold
For Storage of Cold Energy
LNG cold energy is storing the cold energy for later use. A hybrid LAES system that utilizes LNG
cold energy could enhance the efficiency of Liquid Air Energy Storage (LAES) systems.

LAES system comprises a charging system, an energy store and a discharging system. The charging
system is an industrial air liquefaction plant where electrical energy is used to reject heat from ambient air
drawn from the environment, generating liquid air (“cryogen”). The liquid air is stored in an insulated tank at
low pressure, which functions as the energy store. When power is required, liquid air is drawn from the tank,
pumped to high pressure and evaporated. This produces gaseous air that can be used to drive a piston
engine or turbine to do useful work that can be used to generate electricity
