The Globe and Mail reports in its Wednesday edition that a ship has left British Columbia for Asia with the first load of liquefied natural gas from the new LNG Canada terminal at Kitimat. The Globe's Brent Jang writes that the GasLog Glasgow arrived Saturday in Kitimat in Northern B.C., nearly seven years after the export terminal's construction began. The tanker departed from Kitimat on Monday across the Pacific. Shell PLC-led LNG Canada, the country's first export terminal for the fuel, is mulling expanding operations that could double the plant's capacity to 28 million tonnes a year. "We continue to explore pathways with our partners for a potential phase 2. There are no guarantees at the minute," LNG Canada chief executive officer Chris Cooper told The Globe. Factors being considered include how to deal with greenhouse-gas emissions caps envisaged by the federal and B.C. governments. "That really needs all of those things to come together on competitiveness, affordability, GHG policy," said Mr. Cooper. The cost of building the first phase of the project has been pegged at $48.3-billion, including the $18-billion Kitimat terminal, TC Energy's $14.5-billion Coastal GasLink pipeline and other infrastructure.
