LNG Canada Submits Project Description

LNG Canada recently submitted a Project Description to the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency (CEAA) and the BC Environmental Assessment Office (BC EAO) – an important milestone in the regulatory review process.

The Project Description provides a summary of the proposed LNG Canada project, including details about the scope of the project.

The Project Description is the first step in initiating the Environmental Assessment process, which typically takes about two years to complete.

LNG Canada is proposing to build an LNG export terminal in Kitimat, British Columbia. The project includes the design, construction and operation of a natural gas liquefaction plant, and facilities for the storage and export of liquefied natural gas, including marine facilities and shipping.

LNG Canada is a co-venture among four companies with extensive experience in developing and operating LNG projects around the globe – Shell Canada, Korea Gas Corporation (KOGAS), Mitsubishi Corporation and PetroChina.
