Could Canada help replace Russian energy deliveries to Germany? | DW Business

Could Canada help 'replace' Russian raw-materials and even some of its energy deliveries to Germany? That's what Berlin is hoping as chancellor Olaf Scholz arrived in Ottawa on Sunday with a delegation of German business leaders in tow. Canada is a fellow member of the G7 economies and boasts large deposits of lithium, cobalt and nickel. It's also a growing producer of hydrogen: Scholz is expected to sign a memorandum during his visit on establishing hydrogen supply chains with Canada.

Canadians from the West coast certainly want a PM who will support extraction of this vast stranded resources.

[candytoo]

As a Newfoundlander we are happy to assist our overseas friends.

[Aegelis]

Canada is a great neighbour, even if the neighbour is separated by oceans.

[oldsteamguy]

I hope my government and the German government can work together for strong trade relations.

[MBBurchette]

Would love to see this almost as much as I love seeing the positive comments between Germans and Canadians.
I understand politicians need cover, but let’s drop the charade about this being carbon neutral.
Germany needs LNG, and Canada has a lot of it…but it is not a renewable energy source however cleaner it is than the lignite Germany will have to use this winter.
Until new technologies are developed, Germany’s only real green option is nuclear power. And the only practical immediate solution is purchasing LNG…from a civilized and friendly nation like Canada.

What a novel idea.... trade with and develop the economies of your allies instead of enemies????

[meejinhuang]

Canada and the US can help, but the gas companies won't make it cheap.

I am from Saskatchewan, Canada. We have been wanting to send our democratic energy supply to Europe for years. Lets hope we accomplish this soon hey.

[donyboy]

Yes, as a Canadian I know this is possible

[Spitfire_Cowboy]

Canadian here: Very happy to see ya folks considering Canadian New Energy resources.
Most especially our new Hydrogen. Hopefully yall will also consider our miniature Nuclear reactors.
Fyi - pls ignore those that gripe about the past. Those complaining about the past are always stuck in the past an never look towards the future.

Canada has already exported to Germany its greatest product in the form of Bayern Munich Left-Back Alphonso Davies 🙂 We'll be happy to send more clean Energy in the future.

[HeritageStacking]

As a Canadian I really want to help out all of Europe. We are all friends. If we can do it in a environmentally effective manner I see no reason why not to send energy. Also if Europe wants a pipe Europe can pay for it then we lose nothing. If that's the case it sounds good to me.

[mamdouh-Tawadros]

I am a Canadian, i am sorry to inform you, that our PM is against the energy sector in our country. We have 2 oil and gas lines that should be built. One to the west from Alberta to BC (despite being the easier of the two) it stalled. Then the Eastern line to supply Atlantic Canada with energy (instead of buying it from Saudi Arabia ) and that one should be completed next century or the one after. But I wish you good luck.

[cuongdo]

Pround to be Canadian. Love you all <3

[thesweetone]

Yes, yes we can. Canadians are happy to help out in anyway we can to all our European brothers and sisters.

[ldt]

Not true. Quebec and St Lawrence lowlands in the east is a powerhouse of untapped LNG. Those fields can be developed without fracking.

[chidera]

Yes it's possible Canada has large deposits of almost all important mineral resources

[ps]

Canada is so huge with tons of resources.

[Cristoforo]

Canada should have made free trade inroads with norther European countries decades ago, rather than depending almost solely on the US for trade.

[nodrogj]

"It would require a pipeline. There is some debate in Canada..."
Ya I think you undersold that problem just a wee little bit there
