Life Cycle CO sub(2) Analysis of LNG and City Gas

Greenhouse gas emissions from the LNG chain and from the life cycle of a city gas produced from LNG were estimated. The assessment includes carbon dioxide emissions during LNG transport from exporting nations to Japan, city gas production, and gas distribution. The level of greenhouse gas emissions...

Summary:Greenhouse gas emissions from the LNG chain and from the life cycle of a city gas produced from LNG were estimated. The assessment includes carbon dioxide emissions during LNG transport from exporting nations to Japan, city gas production, and gas distribution. The level of greenhouse gas emissions and energy consumption in modern natural gas production and liquefaction plants is lower than that previously reported, due to improvements in the production process. Greenhouse gas emissions for the natural gas life cycle are estimated at 16.9 g C/MJ, with 82% of these emissions associated with combustion.
