It is the first fully funded and permitted facility in the Fort Nelson area and has been designed to incorporate a new truck loading system that optimises the loading of Cryopeak’s fleet of LNG Super-B tankers.
The installation requirements at the site will be very minimal as the plant is designed to be modular.
Cryopeak CEO Calum McClure said: “We are excited to now have permits in hand and shovels in the ground.”
According to the company, the facility allows communities and remote industries to have an environmentally sustainable fuel source at a lower cost.
