Introduction
LNG as urban household fuel and industrial chemicals associated with the
gasification process, which contains the cold energy has not been fully
utilized.
Under the high energy prices and demand, the premise of cold energy
economics of recycling projects can not be ignored. To fully grasp this
opportunity, we need to learn the experiences and lessons from abroad, to
realize own values, innovate the intellectual property rights of a selfoptimize by using LNG cold energy technologies and integrated LNG
receiving terminal in a reasonable arrangements for LNG cold energy
recovery facilities
The use of cold energy of LNG has the vital significance to save energy,
lower energy consumption and reduce pollutants discharge. Cold energy of
LNG not only has feature of the high density but also of extensiveness of
temperature distribution

Summary
Worldwide demand for LNG is expected to continue to increase significantly
in future because of growing environmental concerns. Therefore, promoting
the effective utilization of LNG cryogenic energy is an important issue in
terms of energy conservation and environmental protection.
By applying LNG cryogenic energy sequentially in a "cascading" fashion
using four different temperature ranges, large energy savings can be
achieved as compared with earlier processes, and the amount of LNG
required can be reduced as well.
Further, the application of these processes among neighbouring plants within
an industrial complex can reduce the amounts of fuel consumed by those
companies by about 1,000 kL per year. At the same time, carbon dioxide
emissions can be reduced by approximately 50,000 t-CO 2 annually.
