Is LNG good for the environment?
Natural gas emits about 40% less carbon dioxide than coal and roughly 20% less CO2 than oil. LNG is viewed as a cleaner alternative to fuel oil and coal and could help the environment by displacing the commodities in places like Asia where they’re more widely used for energy. However, methane is a potent greenhouse gas that can be leaked by accident or design along the value chain toward consumption.
