Liquefaction plants are typically the most expensive element in an LNG project. Because 8%–10% of gas delivered to the plant is used to fuel the refrigeration process. On a typical voyage, an estimated 0.1%–0.25% of the cargo converts to gaseous phase daily. More losses are then incurred during the unloading into the storage tanks and whilst the liquid is stored in said tanks, and lastly more is lost and used as energy during gasification process
