LNG

June 14 (LNGJ) - Gaz Metro, the natural gas distribution company in the Canadian province of Quebec, announced the start of LNG supplies delivered by truck to the Stornoway Renard diamond mine, located in the Otish Mountains, more than 1,000 kilometres from Montreal. “For a number of years, Gaz Metro has wanted to supply natural gas to regions located far from its gas network, particularly Northern Quebec, so as to offer them access to a driver of economic development that is cleaner than oil,” said Sophie Brochu, Chief Executive of Gaz Metro. The mining company has opted for LNG regasified on-site rather than diesel to run its power plant to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
