BC, LNG Canada Dispute Methane-Reduction Claims

摘要

Both the gas industry and the British Columbian government are firing back at a Green Party scientist who says the province cannot reach its methane emissions targets while serving as home to seven LNG projects. "With the anticipated amount of Stacking proposed over the next 10 or 15 years to supply the [LNG] industry, I don't think we will ever catch up." John Werring, who ran as a Green Party candidate in the last federal election, said in a recent interview, noting that the CleanBC program set a goal of reducing methane emissions 45% by 2025 from 2014 levels.
