2024-30370. 2024 LNG Export Study: Energy, Economic, and Environmental Assessment of U.S. LNG Exports  

  • Cumulative (2020-2050) Consequential GHG Intensities of U.S. LNG Exports

    a  2050 U.S. LNG export levels for Model Resolved scenarios.
    b  Cumulative change in GHG emissions (2020-2050) are 1.2% higher than the GCAM results to align the upstream emission estimates with NETL estimates that are used to explore upstream and liquefaction facility contributions to the consequential results (see Appendix C for additional details).
    cNet Zero (Mod CCS) U.S. LNG export levels do not change between the Existing/FID Exports to Model Resolved scenarios resulting in no change in global emissions or services, the results are listed as “NA” or Not Applicable.
