Роль учета углеродного следа в международной торговле сжиженным природным газом

Abstract

The paper considers the main prerequisites for the development and growth of the liquefied natural gas (LNG) market. The rates of energy transfer and the role of natural gas in the global energy balance are estimated. The international practice of LNG cargo trade has been considered, the market capacity has been analyzed, and the most promising sales directions have been identified. In the course of the study, the main approaches to quantify-ing the carbon footprint were compared, the life cycle of LNG was considered, and a conclusion was made about the need to create a unified integrated accounting methodology to ensure the most complete and transparent system for disclosing information about LNG cargoes.
