Nova Scotia approves Bear Head LNG

LNG Limited’s unit, Bear Head LNG, said that it has received approval from the Nova Scotia Department of Environment for its updated provincial environmental assessment for the development of an 8 mtpa LNG export facility in Point Tupper, Nova Scotia.

The NSE approval is the last of the 10 initial federal, provincial and local regulatory approvals needed to construct an LNG export facility on the Strait of Canso in Nova Scotia.

Bear Head LNG is now the only LNG project in Eastern Canada with all of the 10 project approvals and permits in place necessary for construction, the company said in a statement on Wednesday.

Bear Head LNG also said it has kicked off the Front End Engineering & Design (FEED) work with KBR.

KBR has knowledge of the local site, since they executed the FEED work for Bear Head LNG, when it was proposed as an LNG import facility, the statement said.

Bear Head LNG will be utilizing OSMR(R) liquefaction technology, a patented technology owned by LNG Limited.
