working together.
Construction of the first phase of project, which consists of two
of four LNG processing units, or trains, will take about five years.
The remaining two trains would be constructed during Phase 2.

A Final Investment Decision is now expected to occur during the

latter part of 2018. The exact date for a Final Investment Decision
is up to LNG Canada’s Joint Venture Participants to make.

The Joint Venture Participants behind LNG Canada continue to

view the Project as a promising opportunity, with strong project
fundamentals. The support the Project has received from the
local community and First Nations has been instrumental to the
success achieved gaining critical regulatory approvals.

 What is LNG?
LNG Canada is proposing to export Canadian natural
gas to Asian markets, and in the process, create a
world-class liquefied natural gas (LNG) industry in
British Columbia, Canada.
To export natural gas, it first needs to be turned into its liquid
form – LNG. This reduces its volume 600-fold and makes it
practical to ship via specially-designed LNG marine vessels.
To do this, gas is cooled to -162 degrees Celsius, at which
temperature it turns into a liquid.
LNG is odourless, colourless, non-toxic, non-corrosive, and non-
flammable. LNG is stored at around atmospheric pressure. If LNG
is inadvertently released, it quickly vapourizes as it warms, rises
and disappears into the atmosphere, leaving no residue behind.
LNG is odourless, colourless,
non-toxic, non-corrosive,
and non-flammable.
LNG cannot burn, as it doesn’t contain oxygen, which is needed
to support combustion.
Natural gas is recognized as affordable and clean burning, as
well as safe to store and transport. For countries that depend
on burning coal for the majority of their energy needs, using
LNG has the potential to greatly reduce their greenhouse gas
emissions and significantly improve air quality.
 Planning for an
LNG project in BC
At the outset of LNG Canada’s planning to build and operate
an LNG export facility in British Columbia, Canada, we asked
ourselves three questions:
• Can we build the project sustainably and reduce, as much as
possible, impacts on the natural environment, including
carbon emissions?
• Can we build the project responsibly and operate it safely, in a
way that respects local First Nations relationship to the land and
water, and the local communities’ need for a project that makes
a positive contribution to its economic and social fabric?
• Can we build the project innovatively, incorporating the
latest technology to keep costs down, environmental and
social performance up, and provide lasting benefits to local
communities, the province and the country?
Since our project’s inception in 2011, LNG Canada has worked
to ensure we have been able to answer “Yes” to each of
these questions.
Gas has been produced in
British Columbia for more than
50 years
Why British Columbia?
Finding the right location for LNG Canada’s proposed LNG
export facility wasn’t easy. We chose British Columbia because
it has the second largest natural gas reserves in Canada and is
a reasonable shipping distance from Asian markets.
We identified and reviewed more than 500 possible locations
in BC, prior to selecting our site in Kitimat, B.C., at the head of
Douglas Channel.
We wanted to be as far inland as possible, because it shortens
the amount of pipeline needed to connect the gas reserves to
our LNG export facility. Other key features of our site include:
• Industrially zoned land
• Year-round ice-free deep water port
• Existing infrastructure such as roads, power lines and a
nearby airport in Terrace
• Positive relationships with local government, First Nations
and the community.

 Building relationships before building our project

From the beginning, LNG Canada set out to be the project of

choice for British Columbia. We made every decision during Since 2011, we’ve have been actively

environmental and community interests top-of-mind.

and municipal and regional governments to understand how
our project can help Kitimat, the region and the province of
British Columbia achieve its social, economic and environmental
aspirations.

We’ve also worked closely to ensure we minimize potential

environmental impacts - whether at the proposed site or to the
marine environment. We are committed to listening, learning and
working together to share information and meet the needs of
the community.

LNG Canada has now received the majority of the key permits and
licences required for constructing and operating an LNG export
facility in British Columbia. We have also completed some site
preparation work to ensure the Project is in the best place possible
to begin construction following a Final Investment Decision.

Thanks to the community who came out and

built the float to show support for our project.
 A record of safety and environmental performance

Safety is critical to our ability to deliver energy responsibly.
The LNG Canada project will meet some of the strictest
regulatory standards in the world for both safety and
environmental protection. Our facility will be among the
most modern, and include a number of safeguard systems
to protect against incidents – including alarms and multiple
back-up systems.
LNG shipping has one of the best safety records in the marine
industry: over 80,000 cargoes delivered without a single cargo loss
since the first commercial cargo in 1964. There are currently more
than 400 LNG carriers in operation around the world.
As part of the Environmental Assessment process, we studied
potential environmental effects on people, water, air and land.
We also looked for ways to minimize greenhouse gas emissions
from the proposed facility – a priority in our planning process and
environmental assessment.
LNG Canada has benefitted greatly from the generous input and
local knowledge First Nations and community residents have
contributed to the many studies and reports required to complete
the regulatory review process. We are also working together to
ensure we reduce, as much as possible, potential environmental
impacts – whether at our site or in the marine environment. When
constructed, LNG Canada’s facility will be one of the cleanest in
the world from a greenhouse gas intensity perspective. We will
produce less than half of the emissions of other LNG facilities
currently in operations around the globe.

industry – more than 50
years with no accidents

product that evaporates
rather then spills, makes
LNG a product that is
acceptable to the community
of Kitimat and to the Haisla
First Nation, on whose
territory we are proposing
to build the Project.
 The project of choice

LNG Canada believes that energy development projects and

the environment can co-exist, as long as the right design and
planning are done upfront, the project incorporates local
and traditional knowledge, and there is an effective way
to monitor performance throughout the life of the project.

Through a combination of energy efficient natural gas turbines

and renewable electricity from BC Hydro, our project will emit less
than half the greenhouse gas emissions of the average LNG facility
currently in operation. LNG Canada will have one of the lowest
GHG footprints for an LNG facility any where in the world.

In June 2015, the provincial and federal regulatory agencies granted

environmental approvals for our project. We have also achieved other
significant milestones since then, becoming the first LNG project to:

• Receive an Oil and Gas Commission (OGC) permit

• Have our application for a 40-year natural gas export licence
approved by the National Energy Board
• Have Transport Canada review our TERMPOL submission
• Include First Nations as active members in the TERMPOL studies.
• Received the largest fresh water fisheries authorization ever granted

 Working together to deliver local benefits

We are committed to ensuring that benefits from our

proposed project flow to the local communities of Kitimat
and Terrace, and across B.C. and Canada.

While many local people have already found employment during

the planning and development stages of the project, the majority
of employment and community benefits will be seen during the
construction phase and operations of the project, pending a
positive final investment decision.

And the benefits of the LNG Canada project will go beyond jobs.
The project will deliver tax revenue to the local community that
can be used to support social projects, recreational facilities, and
ensuring local infrastructure is well maintained. All economic
activity – whether directly or indirectly tied to the project – can
help drive positive economic growth throughout British Columbia
and across Canada.
Construction jobs Approximately 4,500 to 7,500 are expected
during construction at the height of construction.
Operational jobs 300 to 450 people will be employed during
the operations of the first phase, increasing to
between 450-800 people should the full project
(four trains) be built.
Procurement Indirect jobs and procurement opportunities
and indirect for local jobs and businesses will be substantial.
