Canada Expands LNG Exports Amid Rising Scrutiny
Canada is accelerating its liquefied natural gas export sector to reach international markets beyond the United States, drawing interest from European nations like France. Shell is currently working to double production at its British Columbia facility under Phase 2, while pipeline ownership milestones and supply agreements advance with Indigenous partners and international buyers.

Canada Sees France LNG Partnership Scope as Phase 2 Advances
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney welcomed a Final Investment Decision by LNG Canada joint venture participants for the Phase 2 expansion in Kitimat, British Columbia, located in the traditional territory of the Haisla Nation. The multibillion-dollar project positions Canada to become a leading global liquefied natural gas exporter amid severe supply disruptions. Meanwhile, French President Emmanuel Macron has repeatedly called for deeper energy cooperation with Canada to help Europe diversify its supplies. This push follows earlier warnings from German officials about constrained European gas storage and vulnerable supply chains.
Why it matters
Europe faces acute energy security concerns driven by rising prices and disruptions linked to the conflict in the Middle East. Germany previously reported that its gas storage sites sit at 57 percent full for late September, a historic low well below the European average. Ottawa is positioning its natural resource developments to help plug this gap, aided by legislative efforts like Bill C-39 to accelerate major infrastructure reviews.
What is confirmed
