LNG Canada starts up second train

Canadian liquefied natural gas company LNG Canada has started producing LNG from its second train at its Kitimat, British Columbia site.

With both trains operational, the facility now has capacity to produce 14 million tonnes of LNG a year, liquefying gas that arrives at the site via a 670km (416 mile) pipeline.

LNG Canada said it would now continue to advance its operations and work with key trading partners.

Shell is the largest partner in LNG Canada, with a 40% stake. Other partners include Petronas, PetroChina, Mitsubishi and Korea’s Kogan.
