(CercleFinance.com) – Siemens Energy announced today that it has been selected as sole solutions provider for a Woodfibre LNG project in British Columbia, Canada.
A subsidiary of Pacific Energy, Woodfibre LNG is proposing to construct a liquefied natural gas (LNG) processing and export facility on the site of the former Woodfibre pulp and paper mill.
The facility will have a capacity of 2.1 million tonnes per year and will use clean, renewable electricity, enabling it to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by more than 80%.
“This project is important because it will help support global decarbonization with exports to currently coal-driven economies in Asia,” said Thorbjörn Fors, Executive Vice President Industrial Applications at Siemens Energy.
Siemens Energy will supply equipment for the GLN refrigeration process (compressors, synchronous motors, variable speed drives, converter transformers, harmonic filters, power plants, etc.). Eventually, this site could become ‘the lowest emission LNG export facility in the world’, says Woodfibre.
The facility is expected to be completed in 2027 with the start of commercial operation scheduled for September of the same year.
