This policy brief by the International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD) evaluates the proposal that Canada should receive climate credits under Article 6 of the Paris Agreement for exporting liquefied natural gas (LNG). The author argues that such credits are likely impossible to obtain and environmentally unsound, as they would struggle to meet the 'additionality' requirement—proving that LNG exports directly caused a reduction in coal use abroad. The brief concludes that the only feasible path to such credits would involve costly subsidies and technology transfers that would contradict Canada's own climate policies and lock in fossil fuel infrastructure.

This report by the International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD) examines the risks associated with Nigeria's strategic focus on expanding liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports, specifically the potential for stranded assets and the hindrance of economic diversification.

This RMI research brief argues that prioritizing renewable energy over liquefied natural gas (LNG) for electricity system expansion in the Global South can reduce costs and risks, using South Africa and Vietnam as illustrative case studies.

A joint statement from several environmental organizations to President Barack Obama urging the development of a national strategy for liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports based on comprehensive economic and environmental assessments.

Colombia is planning an LNG import capacity of 2,500 MMcf/d by 2030, which is more than double the projected demand of 1,000 MMcf/d. This buildout, including projects like the SPEC terminal expansion and the Puerto Bahía and Coveñas terminals, risks creating stranded assets and undermining a national roadmap to reduce fossil fuel dependence by 90% by 2050. Industrial gas use has already fallen by 28% in early 2026 as users switch to cheaper alternatives like LPG and coal.
