The BCEAO said in a draft document that Ksi Lisims must achieve net-zero emissions of greenhouse gases by 2030 to comply with the province’s recently announced Energy Action Framework
British Columbia’s environmental regulator is requesting credible plans from Ksi Lisims LNG to attain net-zero emissions as climate activists oppose the project’s quest to export liquefied natural gas.
Ksi Lisims is expected to file its full application by the end of this year. “The application must include credible plans that describe the mitigation measures that must be taken to minimize GHG emissions throughout all phases of the project,” the BCEAO said in the draft document titled Application Information Requirements.
The project, backed by the Nisga’a Nation, is striving to start exporting LNG to Asia in late 2027 in what would be Canada’s second-largest LNG facility. The Shell PLC-led LNG Canada project in Kitimat, B.C., is the only LNG export terminal under construction in the country, with Phase 1 scheduled to begin shipments to Asia in 2025. The goal under LNG Canada’s Phase 1 is to export 14 million tonnes a year of LNG, while Ksi Lisims is aiming to export 12 million tonnes a year.
Uncertainty lingers because Ottawa hasn’t yet announced further details for implementing the federal emissions cap on the oil and gas industry, the activists said in a letter dated May 25 to George Heyman, B.C.’s Minister of Environment and Climate Change Strategy, and Elenore Arend, the BCEAO’s chief executive assessment officer.
