Leslie Palti-Guzman discusses Canada's potential to become a significant LNG exporter, possibly reaching 45 million tons by the early 2030s. She highlights that Canada's lack of reliance on constrained shipping straits and its proximity to Asian economies make it an attractive option for buyers.
“So, you know, for years we've been talking about the potential of Canada LNG exports, and it took a lot of delay because of economic and geopolitical reasons.”
“Now, Canada could emerge by the end of the decade, or actually at the beginning of next decade, as a very significant exporter with maybe 45 million tons of LNG.”
“And we know that Canada doesn't have any issues with any strait. There is no Malacca Strait. There is no Panama Canal. There is no Suez Canal. There is no Strait of Hormuz. So that's very attractive to Asian buyers.”
