CLNG to Release Study This Week Comparing GHG Emissions from LNG and Coal Projects

Platts LNG Daily [subscription required] reports that the Center for LNG (CLNG) plans to release a report this week comparing the life-cycle greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from LNG projects to GHG emissions from U.S. coal-fired power plants. According to Platts, the report concludes that a typical U.S. coal-fired power plant emits approximately two and a half times the amount of lifecycle GHG as an LNG-powered facility. The study also notes that the most advanced coal technologies emit approximately 70% more GHG than LNG projects across their respective lifecycles.
