British Columbia's former Premier Christy Clark remains a big supporter of the LNG industry and for proponents of an LNG terminal proposed for just across the A/B line north of Lax Kw'alaams, the architect of BC's original LNG strategy is bringing her passion to their board of directors.

In the latest update to the AlaskCan LNG website, the recently created page of corporate officials now features the name of Ms. Clark, the former Premier now listed as a Board member. 

One of four of note mentioned on the Board of Directors page.

The remainder of the corporate home on the internet offers up a rather limited look at how their terminal plans will benefit the State and people of Alaska, as well as those of western Canada, with the company looking to unlock as it puts it, the value of stranded North American gas and make it available for fuel switching for emerging Asia Pacific economies.

Other than the positioning statements and maybe a few new business cards, there really still isn't that much to be known about the LNG project, an ambitious plan which would place shipment floating terminals north of Lax Kw'alaams in Alaskan waters. 

As we noted back in January, the LNG terminal project is led by Byng Giraud, formerly of Woodfibre LNG in Squamish,

Last year, he turned his attention  to the latest proposal near the North Coast, proposing the latest solution towards moving inland natural gas in Northeastern British Columbia to global markets.

You can explore some of the AlaskCan LNG notes from their website here.

The Canadian publication the Narwhal took note of the newest member of the Board and outlined one option for a pipeline to the new terminal.

That being a route which basically would follow the path of the once planned Prince Rupert Gas Transmission pipeline, a project which was put on pause after the once highly anticipated Petronas LNG shipment terminal proposed for Lelu Island was cancelled.

Any move for the route to the AlaskCan project would require a slight modification of its route, taking it north to the location along the Sitka and Tongass passages across from Lax Kw'alaams.
