Measurement-informed Scope 1 target builds upon
Cheniere's climate strategy
Cheniere Energy, Inc. (“Cheniere” or the “Company”) (NYSE: LNG)
today announced it has set a voluntary, measurement-informed Scope
1 annual methane intensity target for its liquefaction facilities.
The Scope 1 methane target builds upon the Company’s robust climate
strategy and leverages data from its multi-scale emissions
measurement and mitigation programs. The methane target is
consistent with the requirements to achieve Gold Standard under
Cheniere’s membership in the United Nations Environment Programme’s
(UNEP) Oil & Gas Methane Partnership (OGMP) 2.0.
Cheniere aims to consistently maintain a Scope 1 annual methane
emissions intensity of 0.03% per tonne of liquefied natural gas
(LNG) produced across its two U.S. Gulf Coast liquefaction
facilities by 2027. Using measured emissions data to inform methane
targets represents an important element in Cheniere’s strategy and
moves the industry forward in its climate performance.
Cheniere’s Quantification, Monitoring, Reporting and
Verification (QMRV) projects — including data from approximately 50
aerial measurements of the Company’s operations at its liquefaction
facilities performed over a 16-month period — informed the process
of establishing the methane target.
“Cheniere’s LNG plays a critical role in meeting the world’s
growing need for secure and reliable energy, while supporting the
transition to a lower-carbon future,” said Jack Fusco, Cheniere’s
President and Chief Executive Officer. “Our methane emissions
intensity target reflects our commitment to leverage
measurement-informed emissions data to improve the climate
competitiveness of our LNG and ensure the long-term resilience of
our business.”
In addition, Cheniere has updated its peer-reviewed LNG life
cycle assessment (LCA), originally published in 2021. The new study
has been accepted by a top-tier academic journal and is expected to
be published soon. The updated LCA finds that in all cases the
supply-chain specific GHG emissions intensity of Cheniere’s LNG is
lower than those presented in the U.S. Department of Energy’s
National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) 2019 study.
Cheniere’s broader climate strategy focuses on a data- and
science-based approach to identifying potential emissions reduction
opportunities. The Company collaborates with suppliers throughout
the LNG value chain, scientific experts, leading academic
institutions and customers to inform, understand and improve the
characterization of emissions performance and identify potential
mitigation measures across the supply chain.
