New Lifecycle Assessment for Greenhouse Gases from LNG Spells Bad News for Emissions from Arctic Projects Liquefied natural gas may not be as clean as previously thought, a new study finds. While liquefied gas is often heralded as a less dirty alternative to coal, its lifetime emissions exceed those from coal, the new data suggest. The report gives special emphasis to methane emissions from the transport of liquefied natural gas, a finding relevant to Arctic LNG projects.

New Research Identifies Arctic Communities Most at Risk from Melting Permafrost Rising ground temperatures and melting permafrost will adversely affect 55 percent of Arctic coastal zone infrastructure by mid-century. The impact will be largest in Russia and parts of Alaska.
Liquefied Natural Gas Not the Solution to Cleaning up International Shipping Efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from international shipping may have hit a roadblock. A new study suggests that using LNG, long seen as a less-dirty alternative, may in fact cause more emissions than using traditional marine fuels.
