Yes, you read it right. Recently, late March 2026, Canadian federal Minister of Energy and Natural Resources, Tim Hodgson, mentioned in a podcast recorded at the CERAWeek energy conference in Houston(TX) that Woodfibre LNG “has ambitions to double and triple the size of their production”.

You can be sure he is telling the truth. According to the article by Business in Vancouver: “Woodfibre’s consultants and executives met with federal officials 38 times over the past 12 months, according to the federal Registry of Lobbyists. Five of those meetings were with Hodgson.”

So we can be sure, Woodfibre LNG has these intentions, as they are in line with the calculations Dr. Eoin Finn had done in 2015, and found that the proposed expansion of the Eagle Mountain – Woodfibre pipeline far exceeded what WFLNG needed for producing 2.1 millions tons of LNG per year. His calls were never taken seriously by the governments and agencies issuing the approvals for this project.

What can we do to stop this?
