LNG Canada says it will go ahead with the Phase 2 expansion project at its liquefied natural gas export terminal in Kitimat, B.C.
The expansion will double LNG Canada’s capacity to 28 million tonnes a year.
It is one of the five initial projects that was referred to Ottawa’s major projects office last year.
LNG Canada CEO Chris Cooper says the project will create thousands of jobs and further strengthen Canada’s role as a trusted energy partner.
The first phase project began shipping liquefied natural gas last year.
LNG Canada is a joint venture between Shell and Malaysia’s Petronas, PetroChina, Japan’s Mitsubishi Corp. and South Korea’s KOGAS.
