Abstract
This chapter focuses on greenhouse gas quantification and mitigation for a generic 10 million ton per annum (10 mtpa) liquefaction plant. Realistic estimates for meeting future energy demand suggest that fossil fuels will play a significant role in the global energy mix at least through 2050. Increased fossil fuel use means increased greenhouse gas emissions. On the other hand, there is increasing concern over greenhouse gases (GHG) and their impact on the global climate. The increased public concern and governments' regulatory action around climate change pose a challenge to the energy industry regarding how to meet the growing world energy demand while reducing GHG emissions. Proposals to curb or reduce industrial GHG emissions include measures such as energy conservation, increased energy efficiency, the use of renewable energy, fuel switching (e.g. coal to natural gas), and carbon capture and storage (CCS). The liquefied natural gas (LNG) industry is monitoring developments in CCS technologies and is willing to adopt them to reduce its carbon footprint.
