Over the past few years, Oregon and Washington fended off several proposals to build enormous fracked fuel and petrochemical terminals on their coasts. But just to the north, British Columbia’s political leaders took the opposite tack, sending out a siren song to attract liquefied natural gas (LNG) investors to the province’s western shores.
The invitation lured would-be LNG exporters with the promise of fossil-fuel-friendly policies and cheap fracked gas from fossil fuel basins in northeastern BC. Oil and gas companies the world over answered the call, proposing nearly two dozen LNG export facilities designed to ship the liquefied fossil fuel to Asia.
Project backers aim to have three LNG plants in operation by 2020. This report maps the twenty active BC LNG proposals and offers an overview of each project’s finances, location, export plans, and proposed pipeline infrastructure.
