What are the Environmental Implications of SNG Production?
SNG production can have both positive and negative environmental impacts:
- CO2 Emissions: Depending on the feedstock, SNG production can generate significant CO2 emissions. However, integrating carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies can mitigate this issue. - Renewable Feedstocks: Using biomass and other renewable feedstocks can make SNG production more sustainable, reducing reliance on fossil fuels. - Reduction in Methane Leakage: SNG pipelines typically have lower methane leakage rates compared to conventional natural gas pipelines, contributing to lower greenhouse gas emissions.
