The Woodfibre LNG Project will be the world’s first net zero LNG export facility, being constructed on the historical site of Swiy̓át, a Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Úxwumixw (Squamish Nation) village, in Nexwnéwu7ts Átlḵ’a7tsem (Howe Sound). The Project includes the construction of a liquefaction train, a floating LNG storage and offloading unit, an air-cooling system, and marine docking facilities for LNG carriers. Woodfibre LNG will produce approximately 2.1 million tonnes of LNG per year during operations.
Woodfibre LNG is incredibly proud to be the first industrial project in Canada to recognize a non-treaty Indigenous government, the Squamish Nation, as a full environmental regulator.
Taking a collaborative approach to obtain consent on the Project resulted in the first-of-its kind Squamish Nation Environmental Assessment Agreement, which includes 29 legally binding conditions for the Project. We acknowledge the Squamish Nation as a key partner in our journey.
