The multinational owners of Canada’s first large-scale liquefied natural gas export terminal agreed Tuesday to a C$33 billion (US$23 billion) expansion in British Columbia that will double the facility’s capacity and expand Canada’s exports to overseas energy markets.
LNG Canada said its partners made a final investment decision on Phase 2 of the Kitimat project, increasing capacity to 28 million tons a year. The expansion will add two LNG processing units, another storage tank and an additional loading berth, while building on infrastructure from the first phase, which began exports last year.
