Canada Deepens Energy Partnership With EU to Expand Clean Energy and LNG Cooperation

Canada has strengthened its energy partnership with the European Union, reinforcing its position as a key supplier of reliable energy while advancing cooperation on clean technologies, energy security, and low-carbon infrastructure.

The renewed collaboration was highlighted during the EU–Canada Energy Security Business Roundtable held in Montreal alongside the 11th International Energy Agency (IEA) Energy Efficiency Conference. Co-chaired by Canada’s Minister of Energy and Natural Resources, Tim Hodgson, and the European Union’s Commissioner for Energy and Housing, Dan Jørgensen, the meeting brought together government representatives and industry leaders to identify opportunities for deeper energy collaboration.

A key priority was expanding Canada’s role in supporting Europe’s energy security through liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports as European countries continue diversifying their energy supplies. To strengthen commercial ties, Canadian LNG project developers met with prospective European buyers during a dedicated business-to-business workshop aimed at advancing future trade and investment.

Beyond LNG, discussions focused on accelerating cooperation in electrification, renewable energy technologies, and resilient clean energy supply chains. Participants emphasized the importance of modernizing electricity infrastructure, improving access to critical energy components, and creating investment conditions that can support the growing demand for clean energy technologies.

The meeting also reaffirmed the strategic importance of Canada-EU cooperation amid rising global energy demand, supply chain disruptions, and geopolitical uncertainty. Officials agreed that closer collaboration between trusted partners is essential to strengthening long-term energy resilience while supporting the transition to cleaner energy systems.

The outcomes of the Montreal roundtable are expected to shape discussions at the next EU–Canada Summit, scheduled for October 29–30, 2026, in Canada. Canadian officials said the partnership reflects the country's commitment to remaining a dependable and responsible energy supplier while expanding cooperation with the European Union to advance secure, sustainable, and long-term energy development.
