What is LCE’s CO2 plan?
Greenhouse gas emissions are not local, but are emitted all over the world. LCE will act locally to reduce worldwide greenhouse gas emissions. When the petcoke destined for LCE is used around the world in other typical applications such as combustion or cement manufacture, the CO2 emissions are substantially greater than those from LCE. In addition, the CO2 generated from shipping and handling the petcoke to its final markets in Europe or Asia, generates even more CO2. So LCE substantially reduces CO2 emissions derived from typical usage of petcoke by converting the petcoke into clean burning natural gas. LCE is working closely with NYSDEC and NYSERDA to determine the best Greenhouse gas and CO2 management solution and will do whatever the State requires. What are the risks to people and natural resources of storing CO2 underground? Carbon dioxide is a naturally occurring part of the atmosphere. All animals – including people – breathe CO2 and out with every breath. Natural decompositi
