Propane is not generally transported as a gas. In its gaseous form it would be far too voluminous. It is normally transported as a liquid compressed into cylinders. No special cooling is required during transport. However accidental puncture of the cylinders or extreme temperatures can cause the cylinders to explode.

Why is natural gas compressed and liquefied?

Natural gas is compressed and liquefied to reduce its volume, making it easier and more cost-effective to transport and store. Compressing it to a liquid form (LNG) allows for more efficient storage and transport over long distances, particularly for international shipments. The process also removes impurities and makes the gas safer to transport.

Why is it an advantage to transport nitrogen as a liquid rather than as a compressed gas?

The key to storing nitrogen as a liquid is that we need to compress and cool the nitrogen to cause it to change state from a gas to a liquid. By doing this, we can store a lot of nitrogen in a small volume compared to trying to store it as a gas.
