A CBC analysis suggests the Ksi Lisims LNG project could increase British Columbia's annual greenhouse gas emissions by six to eight percent. While the provincial government claims the facility will be net-zero through grid connection and carbon offsets, these figures exclude the significant emissions from gas extraction and transport. The project aims to export liquefied natural gas to Germany, with proponents arguing it will replace higher-emission coal power globally. However, critics and researchers question whether this fuel switching actually reduces total global emissions or simply shifts the carbon burden.
