Woodfibre LNG project officially halfway built

SQUAMISH, B.C. — The ongoing Woodfibre LNG project is now officially past the halfway point to completion.

The announcement comes from a press release issued September 2nd, which says four new “specialized liquified natural gas (LNG) modules” have arrived at the project site near Squamish.

The new modules reportedly include two pipe rack sections, a boil-off gas compressor that captures natural gas that re-vapourizes and turns it back into LNG and a flare knock out drum that separates gases and liquids to ensure safe flaring.

“The arrival of new modules is another sign of the momentum we are carrying into the second half of construction,” said Luke Schauerte, chief executive officer of Woodfibre LNG. 

“As modules continue to arrive, we are driving towards the delivery of the world’s first net-zero LNG export facility, built to the highest standards of safety and environmental sustainability.”

Construction at the facility is set to continue through the rest of the year, with more modules being delivered going into 2026.

When completed, the project is expected to produce roughly 2.1 million tonnes of LNG for export each year.

This news comes after the facility was granted a three-year extension for its export licence.
