When we say Canada is, probably, the world most ethical Oil and Da producing jurisdiction, we mean it.
Did you know that Canada is building an LNG plant in co-ownership with one of the British Columbia Indigenous Nation?
The Cedar LNG Project, a groundbreaking partnership between the Haisla Nation and Pembina Pipeline Corporation, is set to transform the global energy landscape from its base in Kitimat, British Columbia. As the world’s first Indigenous majority-owned liquefied natural gas (LNG) facility, Cedar LNG is not just an energy project—it’s a model for economic reconciliation and environmental stewardship.
Strategically positioned to tap into Canada’s abundant natural gas reserves, Cedar LNG will produce up to 3.3 million tonnes of low-carbon LNG annually, powered entirely by renewable electricity from BC Hydro. This commitment to clean energy makes it one of the lowest carbon-intensity LNG facilities globally, aligning with global efforts to reduce emissions by displacing coal in markets like Asia.
Construction is underway, with a positive final investment decision made in June 2024. The project is expected to create 500 jobs during peak construction and 100 full-time roles during operations, prioritizing opportunities for the Haisla Nation and local communities. With an anticipated in-service date of late 2028, Cedar LNG is poised to boost Canada’s energy exports while fostering Indigenous-led prosperity.
This $5.963 billion initiative, backed by significant government support, including $200 million from Canada’s Strategic Innovation Fund, exemplifies how innovation, collaboration, and sustainability can shape a cleaner energy future. For more details, visit www.cedarlng.com.
