Why does Canada export natural gas and does it mean that Canadians won’t have enough?
Canada is the world’s second largest exporter of natural gas. This is because Canada produces far more natural gas than Canadians consume. The selling of the resource to other countries, primarily the U.S., is a major contributor to Canada’s economy. In 2008 net export revenue totaled $28 billion making it the second largest contributor to Canada’s energy trade surplus. North America has over a century of natural gas supply at today’s consumption levels. This abundant supply will ensure that natural gas continues to be a capable, reliable, secure, safe, and environmentally acceptable fuel.
