Abstract
Systems and methods for increasing the efficiency of liquefied natural gas (LNG) production, as well as facilitating coproduction of electric power, and compressed natural gas (CNG) are described. The systems and methods facilitate producing an intermediate LNG at a higher temperature, recovering refrigeration from flash gas and boil-off gas from the LNG, using flash-gas and boil-off gas as fuel to generate electric power, and providing LNG, CNG, and electric power to a vehicle fueling facility.
