Canada’s Liquefied Natural Gas Touted — and Doubted — as a Green ‘Transition’ Fuel

KITIMAT, BRITISH COLUMBIA, CANADA, JUN 27 – LNG Canada’s first shipment from its $18-billion Kitimat terminal aims to diversify exports beyond the U.S. and meet growing Asian demand, with the GasLog Glasgow tanker carrying over 170,000 cubic meters.

  • Last Saturday, the GasLog Glasgow tanker arrived to load Canada's first LNG shipment at the $18 billion Kitimat terminal after nearly seven years of construction.
  • Construction of LNG Canada's terminal started in 2018, taking nearly seven years to reach its first shipment, driven by efforts to diversify exports and strengthen the Canadian economy.
  • LNG Canada's first phase, with 14 million tonnes annually, involves Shell and four Asian partners, each tanker carrying over 170,000 cubic meters of LNG.
  • Kitimat Mayor Phil Germuth called the project a decade-long effort that will deliver a $40 billion private-sector economic boost and establish Canada’s entry into the global LNG market.
  • Beyond this milestone, Wood Mackenzie predicts 70–80% growth in global gas demand by 2050, with Kitimat's shorter shipping route boosting Canada's export role as LNG serves as a transition fuel.
