LNG Canada is 'largest single private sector investment' in Canadian history, government says

A 204-metre tanker ship has arrived on B.C.'s North Coast, making it the first liquefied natural gas (LNG) carrier to arrive in Kitimat, as a major energy export project prepares to come online.

The Maran Gas Roxana, sailing under the flag of Greece, made its way through the Douglas Channel Wednesday, carrying a load of LNG that will be used for equipment testing at the LNG Canada site.

The researchers said the 2023 data strengthened the case for holding fossil fuel companies to account for their contribution to global heating. Previous versions of the annual report have been used in legal cases against companies and investors.
