LNG

A third large-scale LNG export joint venture is being considered based on previous projects discussed since 2015 and has been outlined by a First Nation representative at a council meeting in the city of Terrace located near the Skeena River in northern British Columbia.

The Canadian federal government has given conditional approval to the Pacific NorthWest LNG project being developed by Malaysian energy company Petronas with 190 mitigation measures attached, including for the first time the imposition of a maximum cap on greenhouse gas emissions.
