LNG

The Canadian province of British Columbia and Premier John Horgan toured the site of a US$450 million propane export terminal on Ridley Island under construction for natural gas company AltaGas and said LNG projects were still possible in the future as he also visited the site of a cancelled Royal Dutch Shell LNG venture.

The Canadian Pacific Northwest LNG export project planned by Malaysian energy company Petronas and its Asian partners is seeking to move part of the US$27-billion venture away from Lelu Island and onto another island near the port of Prince Rupert in British Columbia to ease mitigation measures and lower costs.
