A first for Canada | Inaugural LNG shipment to global markets
On June 30, a monumental milestone was achieved with Canada’s first shipment of LNG — made possible by Coastal GasLink. It’s a testament to the dedication of our teams, in collaboration with industry, customers and partners, Indigenous and local communities and government.
We are proud to deliver natural gas through Canada’s first natural gas pipeline to the West Coast in 70 years. CGL is unlocking opportunities, both locally and globally, by enabling Indigenous ownership, increasing LNG export capacity and providing a direct path for global LNG exports.
A nation-building achievement
The incredible story of Coastal GasLink is historic for B.C. and its communities, Canada and now the world. LNG Canada’s first shipment to international markets demonstrates how our major infrastructure is advancing the future of Canada’s economy for decades to come and supporting North American dominance.
With Canada now exporting LNG, TC Energy’s integrated North American assets are now connecting the world with LNG from each of the countries we operate in. See below to learn more about how our infrastructure is supporting global LNG demand.

Infrastructure in support of global LNG demand
The outlook for North American LNG exports is promising. Demand for LNG feedstock is set to triple over the next decade – underpinning the forecasted growth in North American natural gas demand.
This is an exciting time of progress for LNG buildout and a driver of TC Energy's growth as we look to meet demand for the next wave of LNG. North America is well positioned to meet growing global energy demands by expanding its LNG exports.
The people and metrics behind the milestone
This achievement would not have been possible without incredible dedication and collaboration at every stage.
