New Fortress Energy Inc. announced that it has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with a subsidiary of Norsk Hydro to supply natural gas to the Alunorte Alumina Refinery in Pará, Brazil for a term of 15 years.

In the past several years, the United States has greatly increased its exports of liquefied natural gas (LNG) to other countries. One major importer of U.S. LNG is Brazil, a country grappling with a president and administration that are antithetical to climate progress. As the U.S. engages with Brazil to rein in its emission from deforestation, it should not in parallel be facilitating higher emissions in Brazil’s energy sector. Often championed as a “bridge fuel” to move away from “dirtier” fossil fuels, LNG has been touted as “cleaner” because just the combustion phase has lower carbon dioxide emissions than coal or oil. However, when LNG’s entire lifecycle is taken into account, LNG is neither clean nor particularly low in emissions.
