United Kingdom liquified natural gas (LNG) imports from Peru had the highest carbon intensity in 2022, at 97 kilograms of carbon dioxide per barrel of oil equivalent (kgCO₂/boe). While the carbon footprint of imports from the U.S. was lower, at 78 kgCO₂/boe, shipments from the North American country accounted for 35 percent of UK natural gas supply CO₂ emissions in 2022. The liquefaction process typically accounts for the largest share of UK LNG import carbon intensity.
