One of Canada’s largest energy investments is officially moving forward.
Shell and its partners have approved the $33-billion Phase 2 expansion of LNG Canada in Kitimat, B.C., doubling the facility’s export capacity from 14 million to roughly 28 million tonnes of LNG per year.
The expansion will add two new liquefaction trains, with commercial operations targeted for the early 2030s. Once complete, the expanded facility is expected to significantly increase Canada’s ability to supply LNG to global markets, particularly Asia.
What could an expansion of this scale mean for Canada’s energy sector?
