Woodfibre LNG在2017年建設出口油庫

Woodfibre LNG will start building British Columbia’s first liquefied natural gas processing and export terminal in 2017, the company said on Friday, providing Canada with a long-awaited opportunity to gain a toehold in the global market. The facility near Squamish, just north of the city of Vancouver, will export 2.1 million tonnes a year once it is operational in 2020, the company said in a statement. The British Columbia government, which is keen to develop an LNG industry, welcomed the green light for the C$1.6 billion project and said it would be one of the largest private sector investments in the southern part of the province. Woodfibre estimated the project would bring about 650 construction jobs per year to Squamish over a two-year period, 100 full-time jobs to the terminal, and a dozen or so administration-related jobs to the area.
