The B.C. government has approved the construction of the Prince Rupert Gas Transmission pipeline, enabling natural gas supply for a planned floating LNG export terminal. This project is a partnership between the Nisga'a Nation and Western LNG. The 900-kilometer pipeline will start in Chetwynd to circumvent caribou habitat and reach an alternative terminus at Pearse Island. This approval reflects a renewed focus on LNG exports to diversify Canada's energy sector despite opposition over environmental impacts, particularly on salmon habitats.
The Prince Rupert Gas Transmission project is a joint venture that could supply natural gas for a floating LNG export terminal, facing both support and opposition.
The revised proposal for the pipeline aims to avoid critical caribou habitat and includes a new terminus closer to the proposed Ksi Lisims LNG facility.
