Das defekte kanadische LNG-Terminal verbrannte mehr Gas als der geschätzte Weltrekord für 2024

Start up flaring is expected to be high and excessive. It’s not fully accounted for in regualtory schemes but it’s a known fact

This study of other facilities in start up suggest flaring is ~3x during the start up years, and up to ~7% of total capacity could be flared in the start up phase versus about ~2% afterwards. 

So for LNG Canada, with their annual ~ 500 bcf capacity, you would expect flaring in the range of 36 bcf. The fact they are flaring „just“ ~ 12.25 bcf is on the low end of start up flaring.
