So we've got "gas" in the US (short for "gasoline"), which is a liquid. There's liquified petroleum gas (LPG), which is also a liquid. And there's synthetic natural gas. EDIT: Bonus: my understanding is that in Germany, an unqualified "gas" tends to refer to natural gas, which Germany is presently importing in liquid form (liquified natural gas, or LNG). permalink fedilink source parent [–] i_am_hiding@aussie.zone 4 points 1 year ago What's wrong with LPG? Petrol is a liquid. When liquid petrol evaporates is becomes a gas. When gaseous petrol is compressed in a container as pictured it becomes a liquid until it is released and allowed to expand again, hence liquefied (compressed) petroleum gas. permalink fedilink source parent [–] CelloMike@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (3 children) Capacity 20993... whats?

That is about half as big as the large semi tankers that deliver gasoline. permalink fedilink source parent
