Abstract:
Policy makers around the world are grappling with issues related to energy security, energy poverty, and an expected increase in future demand for all energy sources. As a clean-burning fuel, many policy leaders have suggested that liquefied natural gas, LNG, can play an important role as the world struggles to meet growing energy demand using more environmentally sustainable fuels. Others claim that the safety and environmental impact, including life-cycle emissions of LNG, may nullify any clean burning benefit LNG might otherwise provide. This paper analyzes whether LNG is a fuel for a sustainable energy source in meeting energy needs of Asia.
