liquification

Each step in the supply chain uses up some of the original energy: desalinating sea water to get fresh water as raw material, electrolysis, liquification for shipping, transport via tanker, local transport via pipeline in Germany and re-conversion of hydrogen into electricity.

The landslide was caused by liquification of the soil, according BNPB’s Nugroho.

The document – one of hundreds submitted to the court by prosecutors – warned that a maximum possible loss from a “liquification break” could mean up to 20 deaths, cause serious impacts to land, water resources and biodiversity over 20 years, and cost $3.4bn.

What they really mean by ‘liquification’, or liquefaction more appropriately, is to translate hard assets into their virtual counterparts -- i.e. the virtualization of physical assets.

Natural gas loses some of its carbon advantage over coal when liquified because liquification and refrigeration require energy—usually furnished by burning some of the product—and LNG is held under such enormous pressures in tankers that some inevitably leaks, contributing a potent greenhouse gas to the atmosphere.
