The European Union’s decision to include natural gas in a list of activities considered sustainable could derail progress in reducing greenhouse gas emissions. To get more natural gas, Europe is looking to boost imports of LNG from countries such as the U.S., which has ramped up its exports to the continent but can't produce more LNG without significant, costly expansion of its LNG terminals.

The European Union's decision to include natural gas in a list of activities considered sustainable could derail progress in reducing greenhouse gas emissions at a time when climate scientists are calling for dramatic reductions to planet-warming releases.

              FILE - A small vehicle drives past a network of piping that makes up pieces of a "train" at Cameron LNG export facility in Hackberry, La., March 31, 2022. The European Union’s decision to include natural gas in a list of activities considered sustainable could derail progress in reducing greenhouse gas emissions. To get more natural gas, Europe is looking to boost imports of LNG from countries such as the U.S., which has ramped up its exports to the continent but can't produce more LNG without significant, costly expansion of its LNG terminals.

              FILE - Wind turbines stand at a wind park in Marsberg, Germany, June 15, 2022. The European Union's decision to include natural gas in a list of activities considered sustainable could derail progress in reducing greenhouse gas emissions at a time when climate scientists are calling for dramatic reductions to planet-warming releases. While Europe is working on transitioning to renewable sources such as wind and solar, it doesn't have enough power lines in place to carry electricity from sunny solar farms and wind-fired turbines.
