Canada’s LNG Ambitions Grow as British Columbia Warms to Gas Exports

The British Columbia government is eager to see the LNG Canada project expand to Phase 2 as soon as possible, in a marked departure from earlier political sentiment towards hydrocarbons that were strongly negative.

LNG Canada is due to make the final investment decision on Phase 2 of the same-name facility in Kitimat soon, and British Columbia Premier David Eby this week said he hoped the decision comes by the end of this year, describing it as the “largest private sector investment in Canadian history,” as quoted by CBC.
