Hi, welcome to a new D.I.D.O.S. Today, we discuss LNG. What is LNG?
-Lindy knows these things. -LNG stands for Liquefied Natural Gas.
It's the gas we use for cooking, which liquefies at a very low temperature.
At minus 160 degrees Celsius, the volume shrinks some 600 times.
And that's it.
Hey, we're Lindy and Babette. We both work for Shell.
We create vlogs: D.I.D.O.S.
You know we like action.
We don't just talk, we're going to refuel with LNG.
For that, we needed to be trained. Let's go back in time.
Yes, we're on location.
-First, we'll have to... -Change.
This is our expert for today, Mathijs.
You had an urgent question. Ask it.
This is my question: We've learned that LNG is very safe.
Why do we need all this, when we are just refuelling?
It mainly protects you against the cold
and because we work with large volumes of gas here.
-That makes sense. -That sounds logical.
Where do we actually make LNG?
It's being made at various locations.
But the largest suppliers for the Netherlands
are Norway, Qatar, Algeria and Nigeria.
It's a little warmer there.
Can we use it to refuel our own vehicles?
No, LNG is meant as an alternative for heavy transport,
for shipping and road transport.
For passenger cars, there are other alternatives
like hydrogen, electric vehicles and so on.
-Great. -Wonderful.
I'd like to see how that works.
-Let's do it. -Let's go.
This man is expert number two. He is our trainer, Albert.
-Please show us what happens here. -Follow me, ladies.
Albert, help.
Bettie, are you alright?
My arm is cramping up, but we're not giving up.
We're witnessing an important moment. What's going to happen, Albert?
Babette is being presented with a certificate.
She has successfully completed the course.
Great!
-Show us. -Take a look.
"Driver."
It's been a great adventure, but we have one more question.
An urgent question. Marco, we've filled up the tank.
-Can you give us a lift? -Of course. Any time.
Seriously, I've never sat in a cabin before.
Here's Lindy.
And here's Marco.
There we are.
INTELLIGENT REMARKS
Bettie, tell him that you can't smell a thing.
I can't smell anything. Is that right?
We'll edit this in.
-That's pretty cold. -It's very cold.
Can I touch it or not?
Yes, you can. With your gloves on, of course.
I can't feel a thing.
