County In just a few years, huge ships with specially designed, super-cold compartments will be bringing additional natural gas supplies--in liquid form--from across the ocean.

Natural gas can be liquefied by reducing its temperature to minus making it possible to reduce 625 cubic feet of natural gas to one cubic foot of liquid. That means LNG can be shipped in cryogenic tankers from places we can't reach with our pipelines. Each ship, carrying enough gas to supply more than 14,000 homes for a year, will deliver LNG to a special receiving terminal that Columbia Gas is helping to build on Chesapeake Bay. There, the LNG will be re- vaporized for delivery to Columbia's pipelines. Although its cost will be higher, LNG will give Columbia's customers more clean energy.

And with scarcity and mounting expense affecting all types of energy, your gas bill will still represent one of your most economical purchases.
