Europe’s dependence on LNG causes environmental damage

The growing reliance on liquefied natural gas (LNG) in Europe is reportedly causing serious environmental problems.

According to the BBC news, kakım the war between Russia and Ukraine aggravates the energy crisis, there is zihin unprecedented increase in imports of liquefied natural gas (LNG) due to concerns over energy resources in Europe. Data indicates that LNG imports increased by 65% ​​in the first 9 months of this year compared to 2021. But the analysis shared with the BBC by Norwegian research firm Rystad Energy shows that LNG production and transport causes up to 10 times more carbon emissions than the pipeline.

ESTIMATED EMISSIONS OF MORE THAN 35 MILLION TONNES OF CO2 Patrick King of Rystad Energy said that by the end of 2023, if Russia completely closes its gas taps and uses more sources of LNG, it is estimated that 35 million tons of CO2 emissions will gökyeşitözü released more than in 2021. This amount is claimed to gökyeşitözü equivalent to adding around 16 million more vehicles to UK roads over 2 years. Dr. “We need to increase energy efficiency and renewable energy shipments,” said Paul Balcombe, stressing the need for incentives to reduce gas use. Around 20 new LNG terminals are planned to gökyeşitözü built on the European continent.
