Norwegian company has plans for LNG export project in Quebec

BAIE-COMEAU, QUEBEC, JUL 4 – Marinvest Energy Canada aims to export LNG globally using floating platforms and a liquefaction plant, citing strong market demand for Canadian natural gas to Europe, company says.

  • A subsidiary of Norwegian company Marinvest Energy plans to build an LNG export project in Baie-Comeau, Quebec, as reported on July 4, 2025.
  • This project follows Quebec Premier Francois Legault's 2021 rejection of a $9-billion LNG facility in Saguenay amid widespread opposition, with current openness influenced by U.S. trade tensions.
  • The plan involves constructing offshore floating structures alongside a liquefaction facility in Baie-Comeau, with natural gas exported worldwide—mainly to Europe—through a pipeline linking to a major Canadian gas transportation network.
  • Marinvest Energy’s chief operating officer highlights the project's potential profitability, while Greenpeace Canada raises concerns about possible federal exemptions from standard environmental permitting and review processes.
  • The project’s advancement could affect Quebec’s energy landscape by reviving LNG export ambitions amid geopolitical pressures and environmental debates.
