This means B.C. will meet rapidly growing global demand for LNG with the lowest-emissions LNG available.

Global demand for LNG is set to increase dramatically. The International Energy Agency predicts demand around the world for LNG will increase by more than 10 per cent over the next five years, reaching more than 4.3 trillion cubic metres in 2024 because dozens of countries are turning to natural gas to reduce their emissions and provide cleaner air for their citizens. Natural gas also helps countries use renewable energy by acting as a backup when the sun doesn’t shine and the wind doesn’t blow.

The World Health Organization says climate change and air pollution are the two greatest environmental risks to human health right now. More than seven million deaths each year are attributed to air pollution, with women and children disproportionately affected because they often breathe the dirtiest air, from indoor coal and dung fires for cooking and heating.
