supercooled and turned into the lowest carbon liquefied natural gas (LNG) in the world and shipped across to global customers from the export facility. That facility is expected to begin operations next year. It is estimated that the two projects could reduce be - tween 60 to 90 million tonnes of global emissions per year by replacing coal-fired power in Asia. “Coastal GasLink reached mechanical completion in early November 2023 ahead of schedule and is ready to deliver natural gas to LNG Canada’s facility, which will depend on their own commissioning process,” said Natasha Westover, manager of external relations for TC Energy. “Which means, sustainably produced LNG could be shipped to global markets by 2025, via this world-class, safety-leading pipeline.”
