Minister of Energy and Natural Resources Tim Hodgson says Canada could eventually export 100 million tonnes of LNG per year. The country's first and only export terminal, LNG Canada, began operating in June in Kitimat, B.C. Another five million tonnes could be added through the Woodfibre and Cedar LNG projects, both also under construction in B.C. According to the International Institute for Sustainable Development, LNG Canada Phase 1 burns natural gas to power equipment. The LNG Canada export terminal in Kitimat's next phase was referred to the new federal Major Projects Office.
