Cedar LNG, a partnership between the Haisla Nation and Pembina Pipeline Corp. on Douglas Channel in Kitimat, BC, has signed Black & Veatch and Samsung Heavy Industries Co. Ltd. for front-end engineering and design of the project's proposed 3-million tonne/year floating LNG plant.

The partnership also applied for an environmental assessment certificate (EAC) with the British Columbia Environmental Assessment Office, moving the project into the 180-day application review phase. The application follows detailed studies, engineering, and engagement with Indigenous and local communities.

Cedar LNG expects to make a final investment decision (FID) in 2023 following completion of the EAC process. Subject to additional factors, including regulatory and other approvals, the expected in-service date for the project is 2027.

The partnership has already secured 400 MMcfd of long-term transportation on TC Energy Corp.’s 420-mile Coastal GasLink pipeline (OGJ Online, June 9, 2021). Pending regulatory approvals and FID by Cedar LNG, work on the 10-km Cedar Link project, connecting Coastal GasLink to the plant could start as early as 2025.
