Malfunctioning Canadian LNG terminal burned more gas than estimated 2024 global record

The LNG Canada plant — the country’s first major LNG facility, owned by Shell, Petronas, Korea Gas, PetroChina and Mitsubishi — is one of the highest sources of global emissions for flaring, undermining claims that Canada produces the cleanest natural gas in the world

Massive gas flare over Kitimat a beacon of LNG growth, and for some a source of worry
Flaring gas towering high over Kitimat is a regular sight as the LNG Canada export terminal — considered a nation-building project — comes online, but some residents are concerned about possible health impacts.

A record wave of new LNG supply was meant to usher in a prolonged period of lower prices in Asia. But after the war in the Middle East started, those assumptions now look like distant, wishful thinking. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2026/04/17/iran-war-lng-asia-rethink/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #china #taiwan #india #malaysia #vietnam #thailand #philippines #lng #energy #iran #middleeast

Iran war pushes Asia to think twice before doubling down on LNG

The near-closure of the Strait of Hormuz and the serious damage sustained by Qatar's LNG export plant has sent prices higher and buyers scrambling for alternatives.

The most polluting #LNG project in the #US is being built in #Louisiana
Louisiana LNG is expected to generate more #greenhousegases than any other #naturalgas terminal in the country.
Louisiana faces several #climate threats exacerbated by #greenhousegas #emissions, including #sealevelrise and more #hurricanes. “As Louisiana becomes more vulnerable, we’re just adding to that vulnerability by producing more greenhouse gases,” Rolfes said. “That’s insanity.”

#Trumps Entscheidung, der iranischen #Blockade der Straße von Hormuz entgegenzuwirken, indem er die Straße von #Hormuz blockiert, trägt sicherlich zu der Wahrnehmung bei, dass es nicht sicher ist, sich auf #US-#Öl und #LNG zu verlassen, was Länder tun müssen, wenn sie sich nicht auf Sonne und Wind setzen. Wer kann garantieren, dass ein unberechenbares Amerika nicht versuchen wird, die Abhängigkeit anderer Länder von unserer Energie als Waffe zu nutzen?
