U.S. LNG Would Reduce Net Life Cycle Emissions by 42%-55% if Exported to Asia to Replace Coal-Fired Generation, Western States and Tribal Nations Study Finds
For example, on a life cycle basis, South Korea and Japan could reduce their emissions by 54.8% and 52.1% respectively.
- For example, on a life cycle basis, South Korea and Japan could reduce their emissions by 54.8% and 52.1% respectively.
- However, both share the potential for a substantial life cycle emissions decreases 42.0% for China and 49.8% for India.
- To me, it is a no-brainer that LNG exports should be encouraged and fast-tracked with broad community and political support.
- This study demonstrates that the U.S. can literally export tangible emissions reductions that will benefit the global environment by exporting responsibly produced LNG.
