How to reduce CO2 emissions in the LNG chain.

Author(s) : RABEAU P., PARADOWSKI H., LAUNOIS J., et al.

Summary

LNG is a clean fuel and its use instead of other hydrocarbons reduces pollution and CO2 emissions. However the liquefaction of natural gas to produce LNG, the transportation in LNG carriers, the vaporization of LNG to produce natural gas, and the use of that gas for the generation of electric power and heat produce large quantities of CO2. Whereas previous studies have examined costly and unproductive techniques for capture and sequestration of CO2 at LNG production facilities, in this paper the reduction of CO2 production and hence emissions at moderate cost are discussed at some levels of the LNG plant, including the production of electric power and heat.
