Demand for natural gas can fluctuate dramatically, leaving some businesses without the fuel they need for cooking, heating, generating electricity, manufacturing, and other critical operations. Your business can better manage its natural gas supply by leveling out peaks in electricity use, otherwise known as peak shaving.

LNG peak shaving allows companies to continue distributing power to customers despite limited gas supply. It involves liquefying or cooling natural gas and storing it during months of low power consumption. During seasons of high usage, natural gas companies can regasify the liquefied natural gas (LNG) so that users can tap into this energy source.

In other words, LNG is a backup source of power when a spike in demand calls for additional energy resources. 

Regardless of whether you have on-site liquefaction facilities, you need reliable LNG gas storage tanks to transport and hold your fuel safely. As long as you maintain the proper conditions, it’s possible to store LNG indefinitely.
