The Globe and Mail reports in its Tuesday edition that Canada could bolster supplies of liquefied natural gas to Europe by increasing exports from British Columbia to Asia, TC Energy's chief executive officer says. The Globe's Brent Jang writes that François Poirier describes it as a domino effect in the world's supply chain -- Canada targeting Asia instead of physically exporting to Europe. In response to the Middle East turmoil, Mr. Poirier's logic is that by concentrating on the West Coast supplying more LNG to Asia in the future, Canada would then free up other countries to send additional fuel to European markets. "There are dominoes in that whole global supply chain, and so it does absolutely help Western Europe," Mr. Poirier said. Shell PLC-led LNG Canada, this country's first LNG export terminal, started shipping last June to Asia from Kitimat, B.C. The Coastal GasLink pipeline, operated by Calgary-based TC Energy, is transporting natural gas from northeastern B.C. to Kitimat. LNG exported from B.C. to Asia takes eight to 10 days, a much shorter route across the Pacific Ocean when compared with shipments originating from the U.S. Gulf Coast to Asia, which take 18 to 20 days, via the Panama Canal.
