S&P Global (SPGI) published a study examining the economic potential and development barriers of Canada's ambition for liquefied natural gas exports. The study estimates that reaching 100 million metric tons annually by 2050 would support nearly a quarter million jobs annually, nearly C$1 trillion in investment and C$888 billion in cumulative Canadian GDP contributions.
S&P Global Energy finds Canada is currently on track for 36 million metric tons annually by 2050; reaching the higher target would require a 2.5-fold increase in upstream and critical infrastructure investment and triple the upstream drilling activity. Its assessment identifies permitting, policy stability and power infrastructure as barriers, with more than 600 million tons of projects globally competing for 176 million tons of market opportunity by 2050. It expects that opportunity to shrink after 2027 until the early 2030s.
