~150,000 tonnes of Canadian origin methane (LNG) are lost into the atmosphere from infrastructure and transportation leakage annually, prior to end-user combustion.

Because methane is a significantly more potent greenhouse gas, this is the equivalent of ~17,880,000 tonnes of new CO2 emission. Annually.

Since methane takes significantly longer to break down, there is a cumulative effect. Over a 20-year timeframe, just the leaked methane has the equivalent warming impact of ~247,000,000 tonnes of CO2.
