Natural gas is compressed and liquefied to reduce its volume, making it easier and more cost-effective to transport and store. Compressing it to a liquid form (LNG) allows for more efficient storage and transport over long distances, particularly for international shipments. The process also removes impurities and makes the gas safer to transport.
