Woodfibre LNG: aiming to be the world’s first net-zero emissions LNG export facility 

Green fuels will not be available overnight, making plentiful, low-carbon-intensive natural gas and LNG vital fuels in the energy transition. Canada’s Woodfibre LNG has set out the ambitious goal of becoming the world’s first net-zero emissions LNG export facility, and company president Christine Kennedy discusses with us just how that will be accomplished, as well as details the developer’s close partnership with the Squamish Nation. 

Part of the facility’s ‘secret sauce’ comes from its location, British Columbia, points out Ms Kennedy. “Powered by hydroelectricity, we would already have been the lowest emitting facility in the world,” she says, noting that the facility’s location on the site on the former Woodfibre pulp mill allows it to tap electricity from a nearby BC Hydro power line. 

Ms Kennedy reveals more about Woodfibre LNG’s plans in this podcast.
