Located on Canada’s west coast, the LNG Canada facility benefits from access to abundant, low-cost natural gas and an ice-free harbor. The plant is the first-of-its-kind in Canada with an annual production capacity of up to 14 million tonnes of LNG. It positions Canada as a major supplier of low-carbon natural gas to global markets and will operate under a 40-year license helping to reduce global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by replacing coal with natural gas. A Phase 2 expansion would increase the facility’s processing, storage and shipping capabilities. LNG Canada and its five joint venture participants continue to explore pathways to a Phase 2 expansion but have not yet reached a final investment decision.
