Dear John,
As countries like China and India continue to burn coal for power, Canadian LNG offers a lower-emission alternative with the potential for major global impact.
A new Fraser Institute study published today finds that Canada could help significantly reduce global greenhouse gas emissions by increasing natural gas production and exporting the additional supply to Asia in the form of liquefied natural gas (LNG).
The study estimates the impact from Canada doubling its natural gas production and exporting to Asia to replace coal-fired power. In that scenario, global emissions could drop up to 630 million tonnes annually, which is the equivalent of removing approximately 137 million cars from the road.
More specifically, replacing coal-fired power in China with Canadian LNG could cut emissions by up to 62% for every unit of power produced.
Learn more here, and be sure to share these findings on social media!
Sincerely,
Niels Veldhuis
President
The Fraser Institute
