Is LNG clean energy?

Natural gas emits about 40% less carbon dioxide than coal and roughly 20% less CO2 than oil. LNG is viewed as a cleaner alternative to fuel oil and coal and could help the environment by displacing the commodities in places like Asia where they’re more widely used for energy. In this sense it is an alternative energy that can be utilized as the world transitions to cleaner gases and renewable energy technologies that have far lower emissions profiles than natural gas. Methane is a potent greenhouse gas that can be leaked by accident or design along the value chain toward consumption.
