LNG Canada starts production from Train 2

LNG Canada has started producing LNG from its second of two LNG processing trains, the company said in a release Nov. 6.

The LNG Canada export plant in Kitimat, BC, Canada, in the traditional territory of the Haisla Nation, is now exporting LNG from two processing trains with a total capacity of 14 million tonnes/year. LNG Canada loaded its first cargo in June of this year. By early September, a 10th LNG cargo departed LNG Canada destined for global markets.  

LNG Canada and its joint venture partners are exploring potential for a potential Phase 2 expansion, which may include construction of two additional LNG trains, resulting in a total plant capacity of 28 million tpy.
