Woodfibre LNG has recently applied for a greenhouse gas emission permit. This action is part of the planning to launch export facilities in British Columbia (BC). The facilities are expected to be operational by mid-2027, adding initial gas flows to the natural gas demand in Western Canada.
Details of Woodfibre LNG Facilities
The Woodfibre LNG facilities are located near Vancouver and will have an annual production capacity of approximately 2.1 million tons of liquefied natural gas (LNG). This project is designed to meet the growing needs of Asian markets, particularly China and Japan. With the launch of these facilities, Woodfibre LNG will become a key player in the liquefied natural gas export industry in Canada.
