This brief Presentation will discuss the market for natural gas as well as exporting of LNG. The presentation will look at commodity prices, government policies, market size, key players and GHG
2. Agenda
• What is Liquefied Natural Gas
• Market Size
• Government Policies
3. What is Liquefied Natural Gas
• LNG is a clear, colourless and non-toxic liquid which forms when
natural gas is cooled to -162ºC (-260ºF). The cooling process shrinks
the volume of the gas 600 times, making it easier and safer to store
and ship. In its liquid state, LNG will not ignite.
• When LNG reaches its destination, it is turned back into a gas at
regasification plants. It is then piped to homes, businesses and
industries where it is burnt for heat or to generate electricity. LNG is
now also emerging as a cost-competitive and cleaner fuel, especially
for shipping heavy-duty road transport.
9. Government Policies
• Prime Minister Harper, made the announcement recently while at a
technical university in Surrey, B.C. He said companies will receive a
capital cost allowance of 30 per cent for equipment used in natural
gas liquefaction and 10 per cent for buildings at a facility that liquefies
natural gas.
• Tax relief will be available for capital assets acquired between now
and 2025.
• The Prime Minister also said the tax incentives will provide the right
conditions for the LNG industry to succeed and compete in the global
economy while spurring job growth.

The NDP is against GHG as such where does the NDP stand on LNG Plants? https://www.kpmg.com/Ca/en/industry/Energy/Documents/LNG-Advisory-GHG-V4-Web-secured.pdf. Does this mean NDP will shut down these types of investments?
Harper introduced programs to support LNG investment as such will the NDP kill those tax policies? http://globalnews.ca/news/1840176/harper-announces-tax-breaks-for-lng-in-b-c/.
How does Mulcair’s cap and trade system support energy sector including LNG? http://www.burnabynewsleader.com/news/environment-debate-warms-up-federal-election-1.1993912
It seems the NDP has yet to be coherent on their energy strategy including LNG. So, why would anyone trust the NDP if they cannot stand up for Canadian Energy?
