What does it take for a Canadian energy company to overcome geography and reach the fastest-growing markets in the world?

For AltaGas President and CEO Vern Yu, it involves a remote rail line and a deep-water port in Prince Rupert, B.C.

In a wide-ranging conversation with Goldy Hyder on the Speaking of Business podcast, Yu recounts how the company become a global export powerhouse, growing Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) shipments from 25,000 to 130,000 barrels a day in just a few years, with plans to scale up even more once a second facility is built.

Today, AltaGas’s Prince Rupert facility accounts for a significant amount of Canada’s annual exports, driving economic growth across Alberta, B.C., and the broader Canadian supply chain.

Yu also shares why long-term partnerships with Indigenous communities have become essential to building projects that last and why Asia represents the biggest opportunity for Canada’s energy future.
