The announcement follows the successful commissioning of phase one, marked by the project’s inaugural shipment of liquefied natural gas (LNG) for export.
Since 2018, the JGC Fluor JV has played a pivotal role in the delivery of phase one, providing comprehensive services including engineering, procurement, fabrication management, construction and commissioning, which facilitated the facility’s construction and safe start-up.
The LNG Canada facility on Canada’s west coast boasts advantages such as abundant, low-cost natural gas and an ice-free harbour. As Canada’s first facility of this kind, it has an annual production capacity of up to 14 million tonnes of LNG.
The plant is expected to position Canada as a key supplier of low-carbon natural gas to international markets.
