US EditionA Town ‘Built by Industry’ Adjusts to Life as the Liquefied Natural Gas Capital of Canada
KITIMAT, CANADA, AUG 6 – LNG Canada’s $40 billion project includes partnerships with Indigenous groups and aims to export around 170 LNG shipments annually, boosting local economy and trade diversity.
- On June 30, LNG Canada filled a 300-metre ship with liquefied natural gas at its new export plant in Kitimat, British Columbia.
- This milestone came after the plant began its initial flare operations in the autumn, signaling the commencement of production following a $40 billion investment.
- The project, which encompasses the Coastal GasLink pipeline, represents one of the most significant private investments ever made in Canada and involves collaboration with local Indigenous groups such as the Haisla Nation.
- The smokestack flared flames up to 90 metres high, visible over 50 kilometres, which caused community concern but is normal in ramping up operations, according to LNG Canada.
- The facility’s operation is seen as good for jobs and relations by local leaders, although health concerns about fracking pollutants remain among some residents and experts.
