Natural Gas – Imports and Exports

Natural Gas – Imports and Exports The Canada Energy Regulator (CER) 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. Import and export activities are available by port from 1985 to August 2024. Data is delayed by approximately 2 months. Disclaimer: The 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). 2024-08-23 Canada Energy Regulator open-ouvert@tbs-sct.gc.ca Economics and Industrynatural gasimportsexportsCERNEB natural-gas-exports-and-imports-annualCSV https://www.cer-rec.gc.ca/open/imports-exports/natural-gas-exports-and-imports-annual.csv natural-gas-exports-and-imports-annualCSV https://www.cer-rec.gc.ca/ouvert/importations-exportations/gaz-naturel-exportations-et-importations-par-annee.csv natural-gas-exports-and-imports-monthlyCSV https://www.cer-rec.gc.ca/open/imports-exports/natural-gas-exports-and-imports-monthly.csv natural-gas-exports-and-imports-monthlyCSV https://www.cer-rec.gc.ca/ouvert/importations-exportations/gaz-naturel-importation-exportation-metrique-imperial-par-mois.csv natural-gas-exports-and-imports-data-dictionaryCSV https://www.cer-rec.gc.ca/open/imports-exports/natural-gas-exports-and-imports-data-dictionary.csv natural-gas-exports-and-imports-data-dictionaryCSV https://www.cer-rec.gc.ca/ouvert/importations-exportations/gaz-naturel-exportations-et-importations-dictionnaire-de-donnees.csv
