Plans for construction of the small scale LNG facility on the outskirts of Port Edward continue to evolve with CEO Chris Hilliard looking towards the fall for the breaking of ground towards the newest industrial project for the North Coast.
While Port Edward LNG hasn't had much to report on in recent months through their own website.
CEO Chris Hilliard did provide an update for the First Nations LNG Alliance, an advocacy organization in support of resource development.
The Port Edward LNG CEO noting of a two year timeline for construction of the facility that is adjacent to the BC Hydro operations along highway 16 just past the Port Edward turnoff.
The projection of a fall start is at least a year behind the original timeline announced in the Spring of 2022
Once in operation, the facility would move Liquid Natural Gas by container to export markets in Asia, with an estimate of forty containers of product to be moved daily from the Port Edward facility to container vessels.
The estimate is that of 300 tonnes of LNG a day, which is a significantly lower footprint than the much larger projects currently under development in Kitimat or proposed for the Nass Valley.
Once built and in operation Port Edward LNG anticipate a local permanent workforce of somewhere between 50 to 60 workers, which includes those moving the containers to the docks for shipment
