Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2017103535A1] The present invention relates to a method for liquefying a fuel gas with a high methane content, which is a method that is a hybrid between an expansion method and a conventional open-cycle method. More specifically, the method according to the invention first of all compresses the cold medium then, in a first stage, uses the vaporisation thereof as cooling power and in a second stage expands to generate additional cold. The present invention also relates to a method for implementing the method according to the invention.
