The Ottawa-based Impact Assessment Agency of Canada has formally rejected the Énergie Saguenay Project proposed by GNL Québec to export abundant Canadian natural gas as LNG from a liquefaction and export plant in the French-speaking province.

Symbio Infrastructure of Québec, the main investment partnership for the Gazoduq natural gas pipeline and Quebec LNG projects, has entered into an agreement with Siemens Energy of Germany for equipment and engineering services.

May 21 (LNGJ) - Gazoduq, the company planning to transport feed-gas on a 780-kilometres pipeline from Western Canada to the proposed GNL Québec project at Saguenay 200 miles north of Quebec City on a tributary leading to the St Lawrence River, has announced the return of Louis Bergeron as Gazoduq President.

   “With over 40 years of experience in the energy sector in several countries and leading complex projects, Mr Bergeron joined Gazoduq in August 2018 as President to lead the carbon-neutral natural gas pipeline project from northeast Ontario and the Saguenay - Lac-Saint-Jean region,” said Gazoduq. “In November 2020, during the height of the pandemic, Louis Bergeron made the decision to transition to a strategic consulting role and has since been involved in special projects. Now, his role as Gazoduq’s President will be all the more critical as the pandemic restrictions are expected to be lessened and the project will likely be able to re-intensify its activities,” added the company.

The Canadian Gazoduq pipeline project as well as Energie Saguenay, the natural gas liquefaction plant proposed by GNL Québec, have received investments from business people and entrepreneurs in the French-speaking province as a demonstration of confidence.

May 18 (LNGJ) - The Impact Assessment Agency of Canada said it was making funding available through its programme to assist the public and Indigenous groups and First Nations to take part in the impact assessment for the proposed Gazoduq Project, a natural gas pipeline of 780 kilometres to be laid between northeast Ontario and Saguenay in Quebec to connect to an LNG export plant.

   Under the Impact Assessment Act, the review will be carried out by the agency in collaboration with the Canada Energy Regulator (CER). “Funding is available for eligible individuals and groups to assist their participation in upcoming steps of the integrated assessment,” it said. Funding applications received by June 30, 2020, will be considered.

The Impact Assessment Agency of Canada (IAAC) has unveiled impact statement guidelines and a draft public participation plan for the Gazoduq pipeline project to unlock Western Canadian gas resources and supply an LNG export plant proposed for Québec.

Gazoduq Inc., the Québec natural gas pipeline developer, has completed the solicitation process for non-binding expressions of interest for transportation services on its  proposed 780-kilometre underground natural gas line leading to the GNL Québec liquefaction and export plant.

Gazoduq, the Québec natural gas pipeline developer, has launched an open season to solicit non-binding expressions of interest for firm transportation services on its  proposed 780-kilometre underground natural gas line leading to the GNL Québec liquefaction and export plant.

TC Energy, the Canadian pipeline company building feed-gas links to LNG projects in North America, is planning huge investments to transport more Appalachian shale gas and constructing the Coastal Gaslink in British Colombia as well as the natural gas “infrastructure backbone” of Mexico.

Gazoduq and GNL Québec, two Canadian companies proposing to transport feed-gas from Western Canada and export it as LNG from a liquefaction plant at Saguenay in Quebec, have rejected a critical report by a Montreal-based body looking into their corporate structures and possible taxation levels were the projects approved and constructed.
