Key Points

This research aims to evaluate the carbon footprint of LNG terminals using a comprehensive GIS-LCA approach.
Utilized geographic information systems (GIS) to map LNG terminal locations and emissions.
Employed life cycle assessment (LCA) to analyze carbon impacts from LNG operations.
Compared results across different terminal sites for broader insights.
Identified significant variations in carbon footprints across different LNG terminals.
Reported a range of 100-150 gCO2/kWh emissions, depending on terminal practices.
Highlighted potential for reducing emissions through optimized operations.

Implication

Assesses carbon footprint in LNG terminals, suggesting improved sustainability measures.
