As countries around the world prepare for massive energy infrastructure build-out, Canada is laying the groundwork to strengthen its trade might and energy security by giving the green light for a liquefied natural gas (LNG) project, which is being developed on the country’s northwest coast to export lower-carbon LNG to markets in Asia. This approval allows the project to move to the next stage of seeking all required permits and authorizations.

With an environmental assessment certificate now in hand, the Ksi Lisims LNG project, proposed by the Nisga’a Nation , Rockies LNG , and Western LNG , is ready to start obtaining other permits and authorizations to build and operate two floating liquid natural gas structures at Pearse Island in northwestern British Columbia, employing an average of up to 450 workers during construction and having a permanent workforce of up to 250 people.
