On October 6, 2020, the Government of Alberta released a new plan to build and diversify Alberta’s natural gas sector. The Natural Gas Vision and Strategy is a significant part of Alberta’s Recovery Plan and outlines government actions to support the sector and develop opportunities for petrochemical manufacturing, hydrogen production, liquefied natural gas (LNG), industrial demand, and plastics recycling.
