B.C. is at the cusp of LNG exports, but continues to lose ground against U.S., Australian competitors while plant is under construction.

But the province’s only LNG plant under construction, the $18-billion LNG Canada project, has yet to clear its final hurdles to begin production in 2025.

“So there’s an imperative to get affordable, reliable, low-emission fuel sources there so that we can ensure there’s energy security in all parts of the world,” said Cox following his panel discussion at the Canada Natural Gas and LNG Exhibition and Conference in Vancouver.

A decade later, however, the challenges that faced B.C. then in building new pipelines to coastal facilities remain, even for the $6-billion Coastal GasLink Pipeline being built to the LNG Canada facility in Kitimat, which continues to be disputed by some hereditary chiefs of the Wet’suwet’en First Nation.Article content

As the Vancouver conference was underway, a United Nations human rights committee repeated its call for Canada to halt construction of the Coastal GasLink and Trans Mountain pipeline projects over criticisms of policing of Wet’suwet’en and Secwepemc opponents. The U.S., on the other hand, “is just better positioned for LNG exports, because they have existing infrastructure,” Mawji said.
