LNG's Lifecycle Emissions Cleaner than Most Advanced Coal Technologies

摘要

The Center for Liquefied Natural Gas (CLNG) released a study that quantifies the GHG released through the lifecycle of electricity generation supplied by LNG and domestic coal. The PACE Global Energy Services study reveals that existing US coal-fired power generation produces 2.5 times or 161% more GHG emissions than LNG fueled power generation. "As the US Congress works to pass climate-change legislation in the coming months in an effort to reduce GHG emissions, it is important that they know the truth about LNG's contribution to a cleaner environment," said CLNG president, Bill Cooper. "Our study has found that LNG-fueled power generation produces 70% fewer GHG emissions on a lifecycle basis than even the cleanest coal technologies.
