Lifecycle Greenhouse Gas Emissions of LNG vs. Coal

As U.S. demand for electricity rises,so does scrutiny of greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuels that provide the energy that generates most of our electricity — coal and natural gas. With America’s growing need for liquefied natural gas (LNG) to supplement our nation’s natural gas supply, the Center for Liquefied Natural Gas (CLNG) sponsored an independent analysis to quantify the greenhouse gas emissions released throughout the lifecycle of electricity production — from fuel extraction to power plant production.
