Doubling Canada’s LNG production could offset nearly all of its emissions globally

According to a new study, if Canada doubled its liquid natural gas production and exported the additional supply to Asia, it could reduce global greenhouse gas emissions by 630 million tonnes.

A new Fraser Institute study found that if Canada wants to reduce global GHG emissions, it could sell Asia some of the cleanest LNG in the world. Canada could replace much of Asia’s coal-powered energy, which generates nearly twice the GHG emissions as natural gas for the same amount of electricity.
