Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) is a threat to the Arctic Black carbon (BC) Nitrogen oxides (NOx) Carbon dioxide (CO) Shipping emissions are accelerating global warming. On route to shipping decarbonisation... In an effort to reduce black carbon and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, shipping is looking to move away from oil based fuels. However some alternatives including Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG), are still fossil fuels. ..but LNG must not be part of the solution. LNG is predominantly made up of methane, a short-lived climate forcer more potent than CO,, Methane is a dangerously potent greenhouse gas (CH,). The pathway of methane emissions from LNG fuel It has a warming effect up to 80 times more powerful than CO. over a 20 year period (GWP20). Emissions from LNG-fueled ships grew by 150% between 2012 to 2018. When burned by ships, LNG releases methane and other pollutants into the atmosphere. 1ovo Additionally, the process of extracting, processing, and transporting of LNG results in methane leakage. These activities can also cause significant environmental impacts including habitat destruction, water pollution, and climate heating. Global heating is speeding the Arctic permafrost thaw The fragile Arctic permafrost ecosystem already under threat from global heating could be reaching a global tipping point. Arctic terrestrial permafrost contains 2x carbon as in the atmosphere. As the Arctic heats up, shellow permefrost starts to thaw. Thawing permafrost releases CO, and CH, into the atmosphere. Released CO, and CH, sod to the global burden of GHGs - speeding globel warming- Burning LNG as fuel adds to the acceleration ot Arctic permatron thew and a potential ano irreversible tipping point being resched.
