LNG greenhouse gas footprint

2024-10-03 17:02:13.820579+02 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

The greenhouse gas footprint of liquefied natural gas (LNG) exported from the United States Robert W. Howarth

Overall, the greenhouse gas footprint for LNG as a fuel source is 33% greater than that for coal when analyzed using GWP (160 g CO2-equivalent/MJ vs. 120 g CO2-equivalent/MJ). Even considered on the time frame of 100 years after emission (GWP100), which severely understates the climatic damage of methane, the LNG footprint equals or exceeds that of coal.
