Original Note:
Only gas *production* is 73% less carbon intensive (21kg vs 79kg carbon per barrel of oil equivalent). Most of the carbon comes from burning the gas (320kg/boe). Including carbon from burning the gas, UK gas is 15%, not 73%, less polluting than imported LNG. https://www.channel4.com/news/factcheck/sunak-claims-north-sea-gas-four-times-less-polluting-than-imports
