Liquefied Natural Gas: Imports
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what steps his Department is undertaking to tackle imported emissions in the supply chain of liquefied natural gas.
Answered by Michael Shanks
Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) provides the UK with a flexible source of gas supply to meet gas demand – helping respond when demand peaks, for example over winter when gas demand rises for home heating.
However, we are aware of the emissions associated with its use and we are working with international partners to explore ways to minimise methane and CO2 emissions across the LNG supply chain. This includes considering enhanced measuring, monitoring, reporting and verification of emissions to improve accountability and progress toward lower-emission LNG production and transport.
