What happened
Mark Carney and Wood Mackenzie project that Canada's LNG sector is entering a new phase of growth, positioning itself as a long-term supplier to Asian markets. LNG Canada reached a final investment decision on its Phase 2 expansion in September 2026, which doubles the facility's capacity to 28 million tonnes per year. Combined with other projects, Canada aims to export 33 million tonnes per year of LNG by the end of this decade.

Why it matters
Asia's long-term energy security increasingly relies on diversified, reliable, and lower-carbon LNG supply. While Canada's potential is significant, global competition for LNG investment is accelerating, which may limit Canada's ability to secure a larger position in the next phase of supply growth.
