Description

The Canada Energy Regulator regulates the export of natural gas. Orders or licenses are required to export natural gas, including liquefied natural gas, from Canada. Holders of these authorizations report monthly on their activities to CER. LNG import and export activities are available by terminal from 2009 to August 2024. Data is delayed by approximately 2 months. Disclaimer: The Canada Energy Regulator (CER) stopped authorizing natural gas import activities in August 2022 as it is not a requirement under the Canadian Energy Regulator Act (see the CER’s 3 February 2023 letter - https://www.cer-rec.gc.ca/en/about/how-we-regulate/guidance/cera/gas-import-authorization-regulatory-change-no-new-import-authorizations-required.html). This impacted the natural gas (including liquefied natural gas) import data submitted to the CER. Since the CER stopped authorizing import activities, natural gas reports are based on incomplete data and do not reflect the total volumes imported. The CER’s natural gas import reports will be discontinued after October 2024. Historical data will remain on our website. Another set of natural gas import data is available through Statistics Canada’s Canadian International Merchandise Trade web application. (https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/pub/71-607-x/71-607-x2021004-eng.html) Going forward, liquefied natural gas export data is available on this website.
