enabled Canada’s first LNG export
A legacy delivered
Coastal GasLink created an extraordinary legacy with completion of the first pipeline to the west coast in 70 years, Canada’s only direct path for global LNG exports. It is a testament to what can be achieved through strong collaboration among industry, Indigenous and local communities and government — each playing a meaningful role in shaping the future of Canada’s energy sector.
The pipeline is operational and delivers Canadian natural gas to LNG Canada’s liquefaction facility in Kitimat B.C. Designed for long-term capacity, it currently transports 2.1 billion cubic feet per day (bcf/d), with the potential to add to up to 5 bcf/d through additional compression along the route. That would double capacity without adding any additional pipe.
As a critical piece of Canada’s nation-building energy infrastructure, Coastal GasLink helps Canada responsibly meet rising global energy demand and deliver lower-emission energy to global allies.
