Abstract
Although the problem of cold energy utilization of LNG regasification has aroused global attention, most of these techniques are still in their early stages and only for large plants. Satellite plants can only supply small amount of cold energy, but its quality is very good. It is an economical and effective way to utilize this energy for building cold storage. The first demonstration project of China is the Xingtan Cold Storage built in Foshan City of Guangdong Province and its successful experience is worthy of attention. If the energy is used for car air conditioning system and refrigerated vehicles, the cold energy would be recovered at a maximum extent and exhaust emission can be reduced at the same time. Even new techniques mentioned above are not commercialized at present, their advances are ascendant at home and abroad.
