Liquefied Natural Gas: Carbon Emissions
- Question
-
To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of whether domestic production has a lower lifecycle emissions intensity than imported liquefied natural gas.
- Answer
-
The North Sea Transition Authority (NSTA) published analysis in September 2025 comparing the emissions intensity of domestically produced gas with imported liquefied natural gas. This analysis is available on the NSTA’s website. In 2024, domestic gas production made up 43% of gross supply, LNG imports accounted for 14%, with the remainder coming from pipeline imports – principally from Norway.
