Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) 1. Allows gas to be sold from remote suppliers Indonesia, Middle East, Australia, Algeria, etc. to industrialized countries, Japan, Korea, Spain, UK and USA 2. The largest producer of LNG is Qatar. 3. Was Indonesia but gas reserves depleted 4. The largest market for LNG is Japan 5. International trade in 2007 was ~165mtpy (Equivalent to 217BCMa)
