Starting from TC Energy Corporation (NOVA Gas Transmission Ltd.), we walked the supply graph hop by hop to the goods you buy and the companies you own. Each step is the engine’s reasoning, scored for confidence and cited where a source backs it.
First impact
FortisBC Energy Inc. →supply upNatural gas (lumber kiln drying)
Added Westcoast transport capacity in BC should make this natural-gas input more available, but the dependence is only moderate and substitutable.
57% confidenceEnbridge Gas Inc. →supply upNatural gas (lumber kiln drying)
The pipeline expansion should modestly ease supply of natural gas used in kiln drying by increasing transport capacity in Canada.
56% confidenceEnbridge Gas Inc. →supply upNatural Gas for Yankee Dryer and Steam Generation
Westcoast expansion adds Canadian gas transport capacity, which should modestly improve availability of this natural-gas input for steam generation and drying.
Hop 2
Natural gas (lumber kiln drying) →supply upThe Westcoast expansion directly increases natural-gas transport capacity in Canada, which should raise the availability of Canadian supply for this input.
78% confidenceNatural Gas for Seed Drying →supply upBecause the Westcoast expansion is in Canada, it should ease Canadian access to natural gas for seed drying; the edge assigns Canada a 10% share of this input.
77% confidenceNatural Gas for Yankee Dryer and Steam Generation →supply upA modest increase in Canadian gas transport capacity can ease supply of this critical steam-generation input, which should support paper and household products production.
Hop 3
Paper and household products →supply upNatural Gas for Yankee Dryer and Steam Generation
The Westcoast expansion should improve Canadian natural-gas transport, easing supply of this critical fuel input used for Yankee drying and steam generation in paper and household products.
81% confidenceLumber and wood products →supply upKiln drying
More Westcoast gas transport should ease the fuel constraint on the kiln-drying step in lumber production, modestly improving its operating supply.
62% confidenceCanada →supply upCanada supplies 85.3% of this input, and improved gas transport in Canada can indirectly ease energy/feedstock constraints on Canadian HDPE output.
