A series of new Canadian crude oil ​export pipeline projects could help ‌the world's fourth-largest oil producer meet global demand and come closer ​to achieving Prime Minister ​Mark Carney's "energy superpower" ambition.

At least ⁠six different pipeline projects ​are underway or proposed, which together ​could increase the country's export pipeline capacity by 2.25 million barrels ​per day by 2035 and ​ultimately boost Canada's oil exports, according ‌to ⁠a Reuters calculation.

Below is a list:
