As of July 1, 2025, Mitsubishi Corporation (MC) announced that the LNG Canada Project has shipped its first LNG cargo as of June 30th 2025. The project is Canada’s first large-scale LNG project with a production capacity of 14 million tons per annum (mtpa). [1] MC will offtake 15% of the LNG produced and supply it to customers across Asia, with the primary destination being Japan, through its wholly-owned LNG marketing subsidiary Diamond Gas International. Since Canada has abundant natural gas reserves as well as geographic proximity to Asia, Canada is expected to help ensure a stable energy supply to Asia. MC and its partners are also exploring opportunities of doubling the project’s LNG production capacity.
