Interest in Canada’s liquefied natural gas (LNG) export industry is growing as investors, project developers, and energy companies look to Canadian LNG opportunities.
Recent LNG market disruptions in the Middle East, the heightened energy security concerns that have resulted, and continuing demand for lower-emissions energy are increasing attention in Canadian LNG investment and project development.
What, then, are the critical legal and regulatory considerations around LNG investment and project development in Canada?
To answer this question, this guide reviews the key features of Canadian LNG. We discuss:
- Key features of Canadian LNG projects.
- LNG project structures and business models.
- Project risks, risk allocation and due diligence.
- Indigenous consultation and equity investment.
- Indigenous loan guarantees and project bankability.
- Indigenous investment and Canada’s Major Projects Office.
- Growth going forward.
