Kitsault Energy Considers Building LNG Plant in Canada

Kitsault Energy said it plans to explore building a pipeline for natural gas, LNG plant, and a dedicated export terminal for LNG, at Kitsault, British Columbia, Canada.

Kitsault, located 500 miles (800 km) north of Vancouver, British Columbia and 85 miles (140 km) north of Prince Rupert, British Columbia, Canada, is a purpose-built resource community with complete community infrastructure and housing for more than 1000 residents.

With nearly 350 acres land of industrial land, full BC Hydro service, and a deep water port, Kitsault makes both economic and environmental sense as the preferred location to be the LNG terminal site for the export of natural gas from North East British Columbia to Asia and other markets. Other LNG pipeline routing to Kitsault has already been proposed.

Kitsault Energy is in the process of consulting First Nations communities about training, education and employment opportunities. The Kitsault LNG terminal will result in job training and permanent well-paying careers for First Nations’ youth.

Kitsault Energy has also begun the process of consulting with LNG energy partners, as well as local, provincial and federal governments.
