Natural gas firm Enbridge has acquired a 30% stake in the Woodfibre LNG project, having completed a previous announced deal with energy resources development company Pacific Energy Corporation to invest in the construction and operation of the site.
Located in Squamish, British Columbia, Woodfibre LNG is a 2.1 million tonnes-per-annum of LNG export facility with 250,000M3 of floating storage capacity. The site will use electric motor drives powered by renewable hydroelectric power, making it one of the lowest-emission LNG export facilities in the world.
