Peer-reviewed research shows that LNG’s climate pollution is as bad as or worse than coal. Natural gas is not a ‘transition fuel.’ That is a wrong understanding. BC’s fracked gas is the world’s sixth-largest carbon bomb, whose detonation will only make the climate crisis worse. An oil industry lobbyist disagreed. Fracked gas is primarily methane, which traps 105 times more heat than CO2 over its 10-year life-span. It leaks all along the supply chain, from fracking to liquefaction, transporting, shipping, regasification, and combustion, at a rate that may be 50-90% higher than the official reported figures. When LNG is shipped by tanker, its climate pollution is around 7.5 tonnes of CO2e per tonne of LNG. BC’s proposed projects will export 50.6 MT of LNG, so they will produce 380 MT of climate pollution a year, six times more than BC’s current 62 MT a year. Our need is to reduce our climate pollution, not to increase it.
