KSI Lisims LNG moves forward towards work on full application for environmental assessment

The next step for the Nisga'a Nation's plans for an LNG Terminal is about to get undweay, that after approval from the BCEAO of the Process Order, setting in motion the planning required towards completing a full application for an environmental assessment certificate.

The process allows for 120 days towards this phase of the KSI Lisims work.

The details towards the Process Order and what is required of the proponents towards it  can be reviewed here.

Should the project move on towards construction, the Terminal facilities would be located at Wil Milit on the northwest coast of British Columbia at the northern end of Pearse Island. 

In their statement last week, KSI Lisims noted that the project is designed to be the largest net-zero LNG export facility in the world. 

Once operational, Ksi Lisims LNG will produce 12 million tonnes of LNG per year. It will create thousands of jobs within B.C. and provide substantial financial benefits to the Nisga’a Nation as well as to neighbouring Indigenous nations.

The three proponents for the project include the Nisga'a Nation, Rockies LNG Partners and Western LNG. 

Should all their approvals come through, they anticipate operation status for their Terminal by 2028.

An overview of the project can be reviewed here.
