Data collected from LNG carriers lifting cargoes out of the US shows greenhouse gas emissions from shipping to be between 35% and 60% lower than those calculated using estimated data, according to a new study funded by US producer Cheniere Energy.
But the life-cycle analysis study — which focused on the supply chain from the wellhead through to LNG produced at Cheniere’s Sabine Pass LNG plant and LNG shipment to power plant delivery — also found that there is high variation across transport routes and ship propulsion technologies.
