LNG Canada Moves Closer to Launch

LNG Canada is the country’s first project for the export of superchilled fuel, with a focus on Asian markets as the biggest demand driver. Eventually, however, Canada could potentially supply 36.2 million tons of LNG per year by 2040, according to estimates by Wood Mackenzie. That’s despite statements by the previous Canadian government that there was no business case for liquefied natural gas in the country. The statements were made in response to a request by the former German chancellor, Olaf Scholz, for potential LNG supply deals with Canada.
