On June 25, Pembina Pipeline Corporation (Pembina) and the Haisla Nation (Haisla) made a positive final investment decision (FID) on the Cedar LNG project, lining up with prior announcements to determine FID by mid-2024. The project (black dashed oval in map below) is situated five kilometers (~3 miles) downstream from the soon-to-start LNG Canada site just outside of Kitimat, British Columbia (BC) with a planned start up by late 2028. Cedar LNG will be an electric-powered single unit floating LNG train to be moored in the Douglas Channel adjacent to Haisla Nation land. Natural gas will be supplied by a pipeline (red dotted line) tied back to a meter station just outside of the LNG Canada site. LNG send out from Cedar is a planned at 3.3 million tonnes per year (mmtpy) or ~0.4 Bcf/d.

Keep This Party Going - An Update on Canada's West Coast LNG Export Projects
Developers have been kicking around plans for LNG exports from British Columbia (BC), Canada’s westernmost province, for more than a decade, with more than 20 projects on the drawing board at one point. That long list has been whittled down to just three that have reached the point of final investment decision (FID) — a hard plan to proceed to construction and startup. One of those projects, LNG Canada, should be sending out LNG as soon as the end of this year, placing Canada firmly on the map of LNG-exporting nations. In today’s RBN blog, we take a closer look at the three projects and hint at plans by a handful of contenders vying to join the LNG export party.

Keep This Party Going - More LNG Export Projects Vying for Startup on Canada's West Coast
Shipping large volumes of LNG from Canada’s West Coast across the Pacific Ocean to gas-hungry markets in Asia has been a dream nearly two decades in the making. After a great deal of work and patience, three projects have moved into the construction phase, with the most advanced — LNG Canada — on the cusp of accepting its first test-gas volumes, with exports possible by the end of the year. Even with all this progress, three additional projects are vying for the opportunity to join Canada’s LNG export party, as we discuss in today’s RBN blog.
