British Columbia plans to introduce measures next week to tax planned liquefied natural gas projects and limit emissions blamed for global warming after months of talks with developers such as Royal Dutch Shell Plc.

The government of Canada’s westernmost province, led by Premier Christy Clark’s Liberals, will introduce its policy on greenhouse gas emissions on Oct. 20 in the legislature, followed by a tax specific to the LNG industry the next day, Rich Coleman, minister of natural gas development, said in an interview today.
