Study Finds US LNG Cleaner Than Coal In Key Destination Markets

摘要

Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from coal-generated electricity is 92% to 194% higher than power generated from US-produced LNG in five key international markets, the. Center for Liquefied Natural Gas (CLNG) said in a report issued last week. The study, LNG and Coal Life Cycle Assessment of Greenhouse Gas Emissions, "provided a granular investigation of emissions during every stage of the LNG lifecycle process, from wellhead to power generation, and compared those emissions to emissions from coal in five major markets for US LNG exports — Germany, Japan, South Korea, China, and India," said CLNG, the Washington, D.C.-based representative of the US LNG industry.
