A top German envoy is pouring cold water on calls for Canada to ramp up natural gas exports to Europe.Germany's special envoy for climate action Jennifer Lee Morgan speaks during an interview with Reuters at the Federal Foreign Office in Berlin on October 13, 2022. A top German envoy is pouring cold water on calls for Canada to ramp up natural gas exports to Europe.
Morgan, a U.S.-born former head of Greenpeace International, is Germany's first special envoy for international climate policy. She represents Europe's biggest economy and largest emitter and works frequently with her Canadian counterpart, Environment and Climate Change Minister Steven Guilbeault. When asked whether Germany needs Canadian natural gas to replenish its stockpiles, Morgan said her country increasingly relies on renewables.
Melissa Lantsman, deputy leader of the Conservative Party of Canada, said that despite the German envoy's message, her party remains committed to expanding Canada's LNG industry and displacing energy produced by "foreign competitors and dictators.
"Obviously, there's a business case. I will be exporting Canada's natural resources, particularly to break European dependence on Putin and turn dollars for dictators into paychecks for our people."
