Fertiliser companies Nutrien and CF Industries are among the firms benefiting from Alberta's low gas prices, with the former eyeing expansion plans and the latter ramping up fertiliser production. The Canadian province is hoping to generate a building boom in Alberta, similar to the one along the US Gulf Coat where $194bn has been invested since 2010 to build or expand chemical plants fed by inexpensive gas. But while Alberta may be able to produce more natural gas, it will not necessarily have enough of it.

While a variety of businesses are expressing an interest in the region, growth is still hampered by higher costs and inadequate infrastructure, compared with the US Gulf Coast.
