Cheniere’s Cargo Emission Tags
Since 2022, Cheniere has been providing our long-term customers with Cargo Emission Tags (CE Tags) as part of our efforts to improve transparency and share emissions data with customers and to support our efforts – and those of our customers and suppliers – to mitigate emissions across the supply chain. The CE Tags provide the GHG emissions (CO2e on both absolute and intensity basis) and methane emissions intensity (as a percentage of LNG delivered), along with other details related to each cargo delivered to our customers either on a Free on Board (FOB) or Delivered at Place (DAP) boundary basis. The emissions details associated with each cargo in each CE Tag are calculated using Cheniere’s peer-reviewed LCA model, which estimates “cradle to gate” lifecycle GHG emissions across Cheniere’s LNG supply chain. The CE Tag aggregates GHG emissions data across each stage of the LNG supply chain, including methane intensity at the producer-level.
This CE Tag represents an estimate (and not a precise measurement or calculation) of the CO2e emissions associated with the related LNG cargo. The process for estimating emissions associated with an individual LNG cargo is complex and is not governed by a legal requirement. Cheniere and its affiliates reserve their rights to change their process of estimation at any time and without notice.
SGS conducted an independent verification assessment to provide limited level of assurance for the verification of Cheniere’s Partial Carbon Footprint of a Product (Partial CFP) for LNG from “cradle to gate” (i.e. production stage through either liquefaction for free on board (FOB), or production through shipping to the destination country for delivered at place (DAP)). The SGS verification scope also included the verification of Cheniere’s lifecycle assessment (LCA) model in accordance with ISO 14064-3:2019 to ensure consistency with 14067:2018 standard, and alignment against the applicable Product Category Rules (PCR) for petroleum and natural gas.
