Life Cycle Analysis of emissions for propane from natural gas production in the Montney
S&P Global recently completed a life-cycle analysis for emissions for propane produced from Montney gas production. Propane is a clean burning, easily transportable fuel that can be a key part of the energy transition. Because of its versatility and low-carbon footprint, propane can be used as a backup fuel for renewable energy and can be used in remote communities that burn other hydrocarbons, such as fuel oil, to help the environment.
This study encompasses the emissions from each part of the
entire, complex value chain from upstream production, natural gas
liquids extraction, transportation, fractionation, distribution,
and end-use combustion of propane. This work analyzes three
distinct pathways to markets both in Western and Eastern
Canada.
The Montney has become the focus for producers' drilling activity
for the past several years and will remain so due to the high
liquids content of the natural gas produced. An ever-increasing
share of NGL and thus propane production will come from the Montney
over the next several years. For this reason, the study focused on
propane production from this area as the start of the life cycle
pathways.
This GHG emissions study provides essential insights to understand the carbon competitiveness of propane today and for the energy transition. You can download a full copy of this study for free here.
