TEHRAN - The Iranian Gas Engineering and Development Company (IGEDC) announced that it intends to manufacture mini-LNG plants and acquire the technology for the construction of such plants’ production facilities, Shana reported.

“IGEDC, in line with its mission to obtain the technologies needed by the country's gas industry, intends to enter the field of mini-LNG; therefore, the assessment of the capacity of capable companies in this field has been put on the agenda,” Reza Noshadi, the IGEDC head said on Wednesday.

Noshadi made the remarks on the sidelines of a visit to the LNG and Helium production unit of Amin Fanavar Sharif Company.

Now, the importance of obtaining LNG technology has increased due to the position of this technology in the field of global gas trade, the official said, adding that in the field of mini-LNG, domestic applications are also considered, so that in the hot seasons of the year when domestic demand is less, industries can use this technology to store gas for using it in the cold season.
