Story summary

LNG Canada, a joint venture company consisting of Shell, Petronas, PetroChina, Mitsubishi Corporation, and Korea Gas Corp., has approved its Phase 2 expansion project in Kitimat, B.C. The expansion could double the production capacity to 28 million tonnes annually, up from the current 14 million tonnes. This multibillion-dollar initiative is expected to create thousands of jobs and enhance Canada's role as a global energy supplier. Prime Minister Carney will highlight this development in Vancouver on Tuesday, emphasizing it as a "historic investment" that underscores collaboration between governments, First Nations, local communities, and investors. The project also involves expanding the 670-kilometre Coastal GasLink pipeline to increase capacity for natural gas transport from northwestern Alberta and northeastern British Columbia to the Kitimat plant.
