About LNG
LNG (Liquifed Natural Gas) is the usual natural gas cooled down to -160 °C. In this state of matter, it has a volume about 630 times smaller than in the gaseous state, thanks to which the “energy density” increases. Furthermore, the liquefaction process of natural gas requires its thorough purification from carbon dioxide, propane-butane, moisture, liquid hydrocarbons and helium, as a result of which it consists almost entirely of pure methane (approx. 95%). It does not contain sulphur compounds, does not have toxic properties and spreads immediately in the atmosphere, which makes the LNG fuel ecological and safe.
In the era of rapidly shrinking oil reserves and more and more contaminated atmosphere, LNG is no longer merely an alternative and is slowly becoming one of the main fuels in the world. Apart from the ecological aspect, what speaks in favour of LNG is also the economic aspect (possibility of purchase on global markets) and the fact that it enables diversification of supply (independence from transmission through pipelines) and thereby ensures energy security.
Information about the project

Project description:
As part of the project, solutions will be developed enabling use of LNG fuel in water drafts and road and rail vehicles thanks to the use of energy-efficient and resource-efficient technological solutions. The main market for implementation of the solutions developed within the project will be the territory of the Republic of Poland and the European Union.
Project goals:
Development of energy-efficient mobile power supply systems enabling
use of LNG as fuel in water drafts and road and rail vehicles through
the development of innovative elements of LNG power supply systems,
for instance:
- LNG tanks of optimised design parameters
- Cooling capacity recovery
- Re-condensation of gas discharged from the tank

Information about the project
Construction of a pilot docking station as an element of LNG distribution system based on cryogenic tank containers
Project – Acton no. 2016-PL-TM-0268-S – is co-financed from the funds of the European Union.
EU managing agency – Executive Agency for Innovation and Network (INEA) Programme: “Connecting Europe”
Description and goal of the project:
The goal of the activity is to design, build and examine the LNG pilot docking station. The main task of the station will be long-term maintenance of safe technical parameters of intermodal, cryogenic LNG container tanks. This will allow further distribution of LNG to end customers with use of all possible carriage means (including the railway, inland and maritime carriage, not applied to this end so far). An additional function of the station will be the possibility to tank L-CNG. The pilot station will be located in Sławków (Silesian Voivodship) on the territory of railway Euroterminal, in the vicinity of key carriage routes of the TEN-T network corridor. As part of the project, the following tasks will be performed (without limitation):
- Coordination and management of the project
- Project of pilot installation
- Construction of pilot installation
- Piloting and studies
- Informational and promotional activities
The main market for implementation of the solutions developed within the project will be the territory of the Republic of Poland and the European Union.
