Our timeline

Shell, PetroChina, KOGAS and Mitsubishi Corporation are proposing to build and operate LNG Canada – a liqueied natural gas export facility in Kitimat, B.C.

LNG Canada must ensure our project is economically

viable and meet several significant milestones related

to gas supply, engineering and cost estimates, supply of

labour and regulatory approvals prior to making a Final

Investment Decision.

Construction of the irst phase of the project will take

approximately ive years to complete the irst two of four LNG

processing units, or “trains”. The remaining two trains would be

constructed during Phase 2 of construction.

A Final Investment Decision, irst projected to occur at the end

of 2016, has been delayed, given the context of unprecedented

global industry challenges and uncertainty.

The Joint Venture Participants behind LNG Canada continue to

view the Project as a promising opportunity, with strong project

fundamentals. The support the Project has received from the

local community and First Nations has been instrumental to the

success achieved gaining critical regulatory approvals.

We are committed to listening, learning and working together.

LNG Canada is proposing to export Canadian natural

gas to Asian markets, and in the process, create a

world-class liquefied natural gas (LNG) industry in

British Columbia, Canada.

To export natural gas, it irst needs to be turned into its liquid

form – LNG. This reduces its volume 600-fold and makes it

practical to ship via specially-designed LNG marine vessels.

To do this, gas is cooled to -162 degrees Celsius, at which

temperature it turns into a liquid.

LNG is odourless, colourless, non-toxic, non-corrosive, and non-

lammable. LNG is stored at around atmospheric pressure. If LNG

is inadvertently released, it quickly vapourizes as it warms, rises

and disappears into the atmosphere, leaving no residue behind.

What is LNG?

LNG cannot burn, as it doesn’t contain oxygen, which is needed

to support combustion.

Natural gas is recognized as affordable and clean burning, as

well as safe to store and transport. For countries that depend

on burning coal for the majority of their energy needs, using

LNG has the potential to greatly reduce their greenhouse gas

emissions and signiicantly improve air quality.

LNG is odourless, colourless, non-toxic, non-corrosive, and non-lammable.

At the outset of LNG Canada’s planning to build and operate

an LNG export facility in British Columbia, Canada, we asked

ourselves three questions:

• Can we build the project sustainably and reduce, as much as

possible, impacts on the natural environment, including

carbon emissions?

• Can we build the project responsibly and operate it safely, in a

way that respects local First Nations relationship to the land and

water, and the local communities’ need for a project that makes

a positive contribution to its economic and social fabric?

• Can we build the project innovatively, incorporating the

latest technology to keep costs down, environmental and

social performance up, and provide lasting beneits to local

communities, the province and the country?

Since our project’s inception in 2011, LNG Canada has worked

to ensure we have been able to answer “Yes” to each of

these questions.

Planning for an LNG project in BC

Minette Bay

LNG Canada Proposed Site Map

Finding the right location for LNG Canada’s proposed LNG

export facility wasn’t easy. We chose British Columbia because

it has the second largest natural gas reserves in Canada and is

a reasonable shipping distance from Asian markets.

We identiied and reviewed more than 500 possible locations

in BC, prior to selecting our site in Kitimat, B.C., at the head of

Douglas Channel.

We wanted to be as far inland as possible, because it shortens

the amount of pipeline needed to connect the gas reserves to

our LNG export facility. Other key features of our site include:

• Industrially zoned land

• Year-round ice-free deep water port

• Existing infrastructure such as roads, power lines and a

nearby airport in Terrace

• Positive relationships with local government, First Nations

and the community.

Why British Columbia?

Gas has been produced in British Columbia for more than

50 years

Building relationships before building our project

From the beginning, LNG Canada set out to be the project of

choice for British Columbia. We made every decision during

the planning and design process keeping safety, economic,

environmental and community interests top-of-mind.

We have worked closely with the community, with First Nations

and municipal and regional governments to understand how

our project can help Kitimat, the region and the province of

British Columbia achieve its social, economic and environmental

aspirations.

We’ve also worked closely to ensure we minimize potential

environmental impacts - whether at the proposed site or to the

marine environment. We are committed to listening, learning and

working together to share information and meet the needs of

the community.

LNG Canada has now received the majority of the key permits and

licences required for constructing and operating an LNG export

facility in British Columbia. We have also completed some site

preparation work to ensure the Project is in the best place possible

to begin construction following a Final Investment Decision.

Since 2011, we’ve have been actively

engaging with First Nations and

local communities through meetings,

open houses and other activities.

Thanks to the community who came out and

built the float to show support for our project.

A record of safety and environmental performance

Safety is critical to our ability to deliver energy responsibly.

The LNG Canada project will meet some of the strictest

regulatory standards in the world for both safety and

environmental protection. Our facility will be among the

most modern, and include a number of safeguard systems

to protect against incidents – including alarms and multiple

back-up systems.

LNG shipping has one of the best safety records in the marine

industry: over 80,000 cargoes delivered without a single cargo loss

since the irst commercial cargo in 1964. There are currently more

than 400 LNG carriers in operation around the world.

As part of the Environmental Assessment process, we studied

potential environmental effects on people, water, air and land.

We also looked for ways to minimize greenhouse gas emissions

from the proposed facility – a priority in our planning process and

environmental assessment.

LNG Canada has beneitted greatly from the generous input and

local knowledge First Nations and community residents have

contributed to the many studies and reports required to complete

the regulatory review process. We are also working together to

ensure we reduce, as much as possible, potential environmental

impacts – whether at our site or in the marine environment. When

constructed, LNG Canada’s facility will be one of the cleanest in

the world from a greenhouse gas intensity perspective. We will

produce less than half of the emissions of other LNG facilities

currently in operations around the globe.

The safety record of the

industry – more than 50

years with no accidents

of any signiicance, and a

product that evaporates

rather then spills, makes

LNG a product that is

acceptable to the community

of Kitimat and to the Haisla

First Nation, on whose

territory we are proposing

to build the Project.

The project of choice

LNG Canada believes that energy development projects and

the environment can co-exist, as long as the right design,

planning are done upfront, the project incorporates local

and traditional knowledge, and there is an effective way to

monitor performance throughout the life of the project.

Through a combination of energy eficient natural gas turbines

and renewable electricity from BC Hydro, our project will emit less

than half the greenhouse gas emissions of the average LNG facility

currently in operation. LNG Canada will have one of the lowest

GHG footprints for an LNG facility any where in the world.

In June 2015, the provincial and federal regulatory agencies

granted environmental approvals for our project. We have also

achieved other signiicant milestones in 2016, becoming the irst

LNG project to:

• Receive an Oil and Gas Commission (OGC) permit

• Have our application for a 40-year natural gas export licence

approved by the National Energy Board

• Have Transport Canada review our TERMPOL submission

• Include First Nations as active members in the TERMPOL studies.

Working together to deliver local beneits

Construction jobs Approximately 4,500 to 7,500 are expected

during construction at the height of construction.

Operational jobs 300 to 450 people will be employed during

the operations of the irst phase, increasing to

between 450-800 people should the full project

(four trains) be built.

Procurement Indirect jobs and procurement opportunities

and indirect for local jobs and businesses will be substantial.

opportunities

Tax revenue Signiicant tax revenue to the local community

and provincial government – supporting social

projects like hospitals, recreational facilities

and schools, and ensuring local infrastructure

is well maintained.

Economic activity Directly or indirectly, the project will help drive

economic growth throughout British Columbia

and across Canada.

We are committed to ensuring that benefits from our

proposed project flow to the local communities of Kitimat

and Terrace, and across B.C. and Canada.

While many local people have already found employment during

the planning and development stages of the project, the majority

of employment and community beneits will be seen during the

construction phase and operations of the project, pending a

positive inal investment decision.

And the beneits of the LNG Canada project will go beyond jobs.

The project will deliver tax revenue to the local community that

can be used to support social projects, recreational facilities, and

ensuring local infrastructure is well maintained. All economic

activity – whether directly or indirectly tied to the project – can

help drive positive economic growth throughout British Columbia

and across Canada.
