The shareholder group of the Canadian liquefied natural gas (LNG) project led by Shell (SHEL.US) has made a final investment decision to expand its LNG export capacity. As major clients in Asia are facing the largest supply shock in recent years, the project has advanced this multibillion-dollar expansion plan. Shell stated in a press release on Tuesday that Phase 2 of the project, located in Kitimat, British Columbia, Canada, has officially received investment approval. Once completed, the project's annual production capacity will roughly double to 28 million tonnes. The expansion is expected to begin commercial operation in the early 2030s. The Iran war and tighter blockade of the Strait of Hormuz have squeezed global energy supply, prompting gas-importing countries to seek alternative sources outside the Middle East. Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau stated that Canada is poised to fill the supply gap and has listed the LNG expansion as a “nation-building” major project.

The US Department of Defense plans to offer a $1.5 billion loan commitment to Wolfspeed.

The U.S. Department of Defense has provided Wolfspeed (WOLF.US), a chip manufacturer, with a conditional senior secured loan commitment of up to $1.5 billions for a 30-year term, to support domestic production of silicon carbide materials and wide bandgap power devices. According to deal terms still under negotiation, Wolfspeed will grant the Department of Defense warrants to purchase up to 7.5% of the company’s shares in stages. Last July, Wolfspeed filed for bankruptcy due to production issues at a key silicon carbide wafer manufacturing plant. The company stated that the funds would be used to expand production of silicon carbide materials and power devices for the telecommunications, aerospace, and defense sectors, and to upgrade material supply capability for military communication systems. Following the announcement, Wolfspeed’s stock price surged over 28% after hours.
