TC Energy is constructing the $11.2-billion Coastal GasLink pipeline, which is designed to transport natural gas from northeast B.C. to LNG Canada’s $18-billion export terminal currently under construction in Kitimat, B.C.

While there has been renewed interest in East Coast LNG proposals, there isn’t a natural-gas pipeline within Canada to directly connect Quebec with New Brunswick. But Mr. Poirier said there are no shortcuts in the lengthy transition from fossil fuels to renewables, describing LNG as a crucial commodity in the energy transition, with lower greenhouse-gas emissions than coal.

Three other ventures in B.C. have proposals to export the fuel to Asia as early as 2027: Cedar LNG in Kitimat; Woodfibre LNG near Squamish, B.C.; and Ksi Lisims LNG in northern B.C. Work on the contentious Coastal GasLink project is almost three-quarters finished, including completion of the Wilde Lake compressor and meter facility in northeast B.C. Two of the eight pipeline sections along the route have been completed, but construction is behind schedule in the area near Houston, B.C.
