A report on British Columbia's CleanBC climate action plan warns that the province's liquefied natural gas (LNG) ambitions could significantly increase climate pollution, potentially offsetting emission reductions in other sectors. Current LNG projects may add 13 megatonnes of annual emissions, undermining the goal to reduce emissions by 21 megatonnes by 2030. Experts urge a reevaluation of the province's climate strategy, highlighting the need for extensive electrification of LNG supply chains, which could compete for resources with other critical sectors.
