LNG
Renergen will become the first commercial supplier of LNG in South Africa, providing a secure independent energy supply, with significantly reduced carbon emissions compared to diesel in the same applications. We will distribute LNG via modular mobile refuelling facilities, which we will locate on vacant land to be leased on established trucking routes.
By switching from diesel to LNG, customers will realise a meaningful cost saving and reduce their carbon tax. Renergen will sell its LNG product to domestic consumers, targeting primarily the South African transport industry, in which it has established relationships with customers.

KEY FACTS ON LNG FOR TRANSPORT
Drastically reduces carbon emissions
Improves the vehicle’s lifecycle maintenance
Reduces the operator’s cost significantly

THE PROPERTIES OF LNG
LNG is simply natural gas that has been cooled down to -162°C and is in liquid form.
Composition
Methane – 94%
Nitrogen – 6%
Sulphur – 0%
(unlike other natural gas sources,
no other hydrocarbons are present)
Non-Toxic
Odourless and non-corrosive
Boiling point of -162°C
Density of 0.43 kg/L
Lighter than air
Unlike LPG where the gas sinks to the ground, LNG will rise upwards and disperse rapidly in the atmosphere.
Safe
LNG cannot ignite in its liquid form. When vaporised, the explosive limit in air is between 5-15%.
LNG can be stored or transported at very low pressures.
Small volume
LNG compresses to 1/600 of its original volume. This makes LNG easier to transport and store than compressed natural gas (CNG).
GLOBAL USES OF LNG
LNG is simply natural gas that has been cooled down to -162°C and is in liquid form.
