This increase in demand is almost three times higher
than the increase in demand for natural gas.
LNG demand is forecasted to grow
by 5%-6% per year through 2020.
The world has almost 600 mtpa of LNG

INVESTMENT
Between 2013 and 2023,
there are an estimated
47 projects planned in BC.
These projects are

by as much as 200 mtpa by 2020.
As of March 2014, 13 LNG export facilities have been
proposed or announced in BC.
Of the 13 proposed or announced LNG facilities,
11 have applied to the National Energy Board
for a licence to export LNG.
7 of these licences have already
been granted.
The average cost for the recently

EXPORT
More than 30 countries have proposed plans to build
or add LNG import/regasification capacity.
By 2020, the number of countries with import
