EMISSIONS: New Tech Could Slash Global LNG Emissions by 60%
{2New technologies can reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the global LNG by more 220Mt CO2e per year, more than 60% of total emissions from the supply chain, according to the IEA’s latest report.
- It estimated total greenhouse gas emissions from LNG supply to be 350Mt CO2e annually, with 70% from CO2 and 30% from methane leaks.
- Electrification of upstream and LNG terminal operations using low-emissions power could reduce emissions by 110Mt CO2e, though it comes with high upfront costs.
- Reducing methane leaks could cut emissions by nearly 90Mt CO2e annually, around 25% of total LNG-related emissions, with half of that achievable at no net cost due to gas savings over their lifetimes.
- Reducing flaring at LNG facilities and upstream gas fields could lower emissions by an additional 5Mt CO2e annually.
- Additional cost-effective abatement options include increasing energy efficiency and deploying CCUS.
