TC Energy says it has installed the final piece of pipe near Kitimat, B.C. for the Coastal GasLink pipeline project.
On Monday, TC Energy announced it has finished installing pipe on its Coastal GasLink pipeline project.A controversial pipeline meant to transport natural gas across northern British Columbia has passed a major milestone.
First planned more than a decade ago, the pipeline will carry natural gas from near Dawson Creek in the province's northeast to a massive LNG Canada processing facility in Kitimat on the West Coast, where it is to be liquefied and shipped to Asia, opening up new markets for Canadian producers.The company said mechanical completion of the pipeline, which involves final documentation, engineering analysis and testing, will be done before the end of the year.
At the time, B.C.'s Environmental Assessment Office said the fines were a reflection of "repeated non-compliance" with Coastal GasLink's environmental responsibilities.Coastal GasLink warned more than 50 times over environmental violations during pipeline construction "First of all, just getting a pipeline to tidewater is huge," said Heather Exner-Pirot, director of energy, natural resources and environment for the Macdonald-Laurier Institute.
"But it also means we finally see some light at the end of the tunnel in terms of getting into the LNG game," she added. Exner-Pirot said that kind of "groundbreaking" solution has essentially set the bar for Indigenous economic reconciliation in Canada when it comes to major resource project development going forward."But for Coastal GasLink to offer an equity option before the pipeline was built was some very creative financial work to get Indigenous communities a piece of the action. There probably is no better example in Canada, from any sector, of how to involve Indigenous communities.

Big Oil Doubles Down on Fossil Fuel Despite Clean Energy ShiftExxon's $60 billion deal to buy Pioneer and Chevron's $53 billion tie-up with Hess sends a clear message: big oil is investing in fossil fuel despite the shift to clean energy. The International Energy Agency's prediction of oil demand peaking by 2030 raises questions about the rationale for increased spending on fossil fuel. However, the transition to clean energy is a long and expensive process, which explains why oil giants are not diversifying into clean energy projects.
