Reuters reveals Shells’ LNG Canada Project to Delay Shift to Renewable

Reuters exclusively reported that Shell PLC’s Canada export project team in British Columbia plans to start building its proposed second phase with natural gas-powered turbines and a switch to electricity as more renewable power becomes available. LNG Canada CEO Jason Klein told Reuters in an interview that the lack of transmission infrastructure makes the entire electrification of the plant a challenge. With global demand for natural gas from sources other than Russia accelerating after its invasion of Ukraine last year, LNG Canada is weighing whether to build a second phase to double its annual capacity to 28 million tonnes by 2030.
