Planned LNG terminals could be responsible for 32% of EU CO2 emissions, warns Greenpeace

28/04/23 (Agence Europe)Greenpeace International published a study entitled ‘Who Profits from War - How Gas Corporations Capitalise from War in Ukraine’ on Thursday 27 April. It reveals that EU governments are planning to build liquefied fossil gas (LNG) import capacity that would increase the EU’s greenhouse gas emissions by up to the equivalent of 950 million tonnes of CO2 each year (or 32% of the EU’s total CO2 emissions in 2019). Greenpeace calls on the EU to stop the construction of new LNG terminals, to ban new long-term gas contracts, to set a phase-out date for fossil gas by 2035 at the latest, and to exclude the fossil fuel industry from the EU’s decision-making process on climate and energy policy.
