As the first snow of the season has arrived along with sub-freezing temperatures, behind every thermostat sits a sophisticated network of natural gas storage and delivery systems—including liquefied natural gas (LNG) peak shaving facilities.​

Peak shaving facilities function as strategic reserves for the natural gas system, storing fuel during off-peak months and releasing it when natural gas demand spikes. The process involves cooling natural gas to -260°F, reducing its volume by 600 times for efficient storage, then warming it back to gaseous form for pipeline injection when called upon.

The average U.S. commercial building measures 16,000 square feet. Given the vast size of industrial and manufacturing facilities, selecting the right energy solution is a crucial choice that can impact your energy costs and overall profitability indefinitely.
