Canada's LNG Touted-And Doubted-as a Green 'Transition' Fuel
Canada's first liquefied natural gas cargoes will soon arrive on Asian shores, a milestone touted-and doubted-as a boon for global emissions-cutting efforts. LNG Canada said Monday that the vessel GasLog Glasgow has departed the northern port of Kitimat, British Columbia, full of ultra-chilled natural gas, The Canadian Press reports. LNG Canada hasn't confirmed the overall price tag for the project. But the federal government has billed it as the biggest private sector investment in Canadian history-$40 billion between the Kitimat operation, the northeast B.C. gas fields supplying it and the pipeline in between. Shell and four Asian companies are partners in LNG Canada, the first facility to export Canadian gas across the Pacific in the ultra-chilled state using specialized tankers. A handful of other projects are either under construction or in development on the B.C. coast. "Cleaner energy around the world is what I think about when I think about LNG," Shell Canada country chair Stastia West said in an onstage interview at the Global Energy Show in Calgary earlier this month. Alberta Premier Danielle Smith told the energy show that Canadian oil and gas exports can be an "antidote" to the current geopolitical chaos. "And it comes with an added benefit: lower global emissions. By moving more natural gas, we can also help countries transition away from higher emitting fuels, such as coal." Smith cited a recent Fraser Institute study that suggested if Canada were to double its gas production, export the additional supply to Asia and displace coal there, it would lead to an annual emissions cut of up to 630 million tonnes annually. "That's almost 90% of Canada's total greenhouse gas emissions each year," Smith said. The authors of the Fraser Institute study, released in May, argued that Canada's ability to reduce emissions elsewhere should be factored into its climate policy. View our latest digests "It is important to recognize that GHG emissions are global and are not confined by borders," wrote Elmira Aliakbari and Julio Mejia. "Instead of focusing on reducing domestic GHG emissions in Canada by implementing various policies that hinder economic growth, governments must shift their focus toward global GHG reductions and help the country cut emissions worldwide by expanding its LNG exports." Some experts see a murkier picture. Most credible estimates suggest that if LNG were to indeed displace coal abroad, there would be some emissions reductions, said Kent Fellows, assistant professor of economics with the University of Calgary's School of Public Policy. But the magnitude is debatable. "Will all of our natural gas exports be displacing coal? Absolutely not. Will a portion of them be displacing coal? Probably, and it's really hard to know exactly what that number is," he said. Fellows said there's a good chance Canadian supplies would supplant other sources of gas from Russia, Eurasia and the Middle East, perhaps making it a wash emissions-wise. He said the Canadian gas could actually be worse from an emissions standpoint, depending on how the competing supply moves. LNG is more energy intensive than pipeline shipment because the gas needs to be liquefied and moved on a ship. In China, every type of energy is in demand. So instead of displacing coal, LNG would likely just be added to the mix, Fellows added. "Anyone who's thinking about this as one or the other is thinking about it wrong," Fellows said. A senior analyst with Investors for Paris Compliance, which aims to hold Canadian publicly traded companies to their net-zero promises, said he doubts a country like India would see the economic case for replacing domestically produced coal with imported Canadian gas. "Even at the lowest price of gas, it's still multiple times the price," said Michael Sambasivam. "You'd need some massive system to provide subsidies to developing countries to be replacing their coal with a fuel that isn't even really proven to be much greener." And even in that case, "it's not as if they can just flip a switch and take it in," he added. "There's a lot of infrastructure that needs to be built to take in LNG as well as to use it. You have to build import terminals. You have to refit your power terminals." What LNG would be competing head-to-head with, Sambasivam said, is renewable energy. If there were any emissions reductions abroad as a result of the coal-to-gas switch, Sambasivam said he doesn't see why a Canadian company should get the credit. "Both parties are going to want to claim the emissions savings and you can't claim those double savings," he said. There's also a "jarring" double-standard at play, he said, as industry players have long railed against environmental reviews that factor in emissions from the production and combustion of the oil and gas a pipeline carries, saying only the negligible emissions from running the infrastructure itself should be considered. Devyani Singh, an investigative researcher at who ran for the Greens in last year's B.C. election, said arguments that LNG is a green fuel are undermined by the climate impacts of producing, liquefying and shipping it. A major component of natural gas is methane, a greenhouse gas about 80 times more potent than carbon dioxide over a 20-year time frame, according to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Methane that leaks from tanks, pipelines and wells has been a major issue that industry, government and environmental groups have been working to tackle. "Have we actually accounted for all the leakage along the whole pipeline? Have we accounted for the actual under-reporting of methane emissions happening in B.C. and Canada?" asked Singh. Even if LNG does have an edge over coal, thinking about it as a "transition" or "bridge" fuel at this juncture is a problem, she said. "The time for transition fuels is over," she said. "Let's just be honest-we are in a climate crisis where the time for transition fuels was over a decade ago." This report by The Canadian Press was first published June 29, 2025.

U of W governance concerns cited
Twelve days after a University of Winnipeg board member resigned in protest over governance concerns at the cash-strapped campus, his ex-colleagues approved a balanced budget that rests on continued austerity measures. The board of regents — a group of appointees who are alumni, administrators and public representatives, among others, and in charge of policy making at U of W — approved a $175.5-million budget on June 24. Domestic tuition is increasing by 3.5 per cent overall. International student rates are up seven per cent. MIKAELA MACKENZIE / FREE PRESS FILES The province has injected another $2.5 million at the University of Winnipeg to help boost the post-secondary institution's finances. The new blueprint starts to phase out 'low rate' tuition labels for some courses that have not traditionally required extensive marking or equipment costs. Former regent Cory Sul stepped down before those decisions were made. Sul submitted his resignation letter on June 13 to board chair Bruce Miller and Advanced Education Minister Renée Cable. 'Manitobans rightfully expect transparency, accountability, and proper governance of their public institutions,' he wrote in a statement to the Free Press on Wednesday. Sul, a practising dentist, was appointed to the volunteer position by the provincial government in 2019. Citing his role as a representative of public interest on the board, he said he took 'the responsible step' of notifying the province about his personal concerns. 'Serious concerns about governance at the University of Winnipeg have been repeatedly raised by multiple individuals and groups over the past couple of years,' he noted. The university's faculty association penned an unusual letter to regents in July 2023 to express concern about an exodus of senior employees in a short timeframe and the subsequent loss of institutional knowledge. Senior administration faced criticism in 2024-25 for failing to consult community members before cutting its women's soccer team, discontinuing its English language program and introducing a new campus access policy. More recently, an employee at the U of W submitted a whistleblower report to the Manitoba ombudsman in April that called for a probe into institutional transparency and leadership decision-making. Sul refused to share his resignation letter, saying it was intended only for Miller and Cable. Miller declined to discuss the matter. He deferred comment to Caleb Zimmerman, executive director of communications at the post-secondary institute. 'Since the board of regents is an independent governing body, any further comment or discussion regarding its membership would rest with the board itself,' Zimmerman said in an email Wednesday. Multiple current regents told the Free Press in separate interviews they've been hearing increasingly from community members who are frustrated by a perceived lack of transparency related to decision-making. Two board members confirmed the group was not informed prior to senior administration announcing in January that it was scrapping soccer and the English language program. President Todd Mondor has defended his leadership style, which he describes as transparent and collaborative, citing numerous town halls organized during his tenure. Mondor hosted his latest such event on June 25 to share details about the 2025-26 budget. He debriefed community members about the persistent financial challenges — which he has repeatedly attributed to a drop in international enrolment and what he maintains is an unfair provincial funding formula — during the event. Attendees also learned about an eleventh-hour injection of $2.5 million in funding from the province. A government spokesperson said the two parties have been working closely 'to understand student needs.' The province has set aside extra funding this year to support them, the spokesperson said. Provincial operating funding is increasing by five per cent in total, the equivalent of about $4 million, as per the U of W's budget news release. Wednesdays Columnist Jen Zoratti looks at what's next in arts, life and pop culture. Faculty association president Peter Miller said his members were initially informed that U of W had to find $13.7 million in cost savings in the 2025-26 budget to get out of the red. His top concerns? The fallout of increased vacancy management and the teaching assistant budget being frozen at last year's levels, despite the fact these employees recently negotiated higher salaries through their union. 'Effectively, we have fewer TA hours, so I'm hopeful that the $2.5 million goes right to the front line, the core mission of the university — i.e., let's support instructors and then let's hire contract staff when we need them,' the professor of classics said. Zimmermand declined to share the U of W budget slide-show presentation Wednesday because the current version has yet to be updated to reflect the last-minute funding announcement from the province.
