 BRIEF HISTORY OF LNG

???? : first liquefaction of methane by ???

1917 : Liquefaction of gas to extract helium (Texas)
1920/30s : LNG produced to store natural gas in USA
1944 : major accident in Cleveland peak shaving
1950s : start of new era of development
1959/60 : trial runs of Methane Pioneer from USA to UK
1964 : Camel plant (Algeria) commissioned, first
commercial deliveries to UK and France
2001 : annual LNG trade of 107 mt (+ 7.5% over last 20 years)
