RE:Huh? Globe and mail headline. In a way its not a dumb question, or maybe you just trying to be cute. But climate action goals only count within a country's borders. If we ship them LNG- them buring the gas is them and their GHG emission regulations. So whatever they do with it does not effect our GHG regulations.
What does count here is the tons of emissions burnt for the liquification compressors. So the government is saying they are fine with LNG exports if producing it is "Net Zero". Electrifying the compressors would do that. But since there is not that much power available for that, there would have to be a massive new renewables project for powering the compressors.
ieridae says it wants to get to Net Zero with massive carbon capture and storage. Which is no more realistic.
