The B.C. government requires new LNG proposals to have credible plans for attaining net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2030
FortisBC has applied for regulatory approval to increase production of liquefied natural gas, saying that it has credible plans for the project to attain net-zero emissions.
“To meet net zero by 2030 requirements, the proposed project will consider the use of renewable fuels for combustion and use of offset measures,” FortisBC said in its 74-page summary. Earlier this year, FortisBC and marine company Seaspan obtained environmental assessment approvals from the B.C. and federal governments to build a new jetty, or dock, at the Tilbury site, which is located on the traditional territory of the Coast Salish nations.
The BC Environmental Assessment Office said in a letter, dated Dec. 2, that the review process for the Tilbury Phase 2 application will include seeking comment from Indigenous groups. LNG projects in other parts of the world, including in the United States and Qatar, have lower costs than those in B.C.
