Hi Willow,
Woodfibre LNG Limited wants to create a long-term social, environmental and economic connection with communities in Howe Sound. The Woodfibre LNG Project would create economic growth in the region, as we are planning to work with the community, postsecondary institutions and all levels of government to ensure that local companies and residents benefit from the opportunities that the project would create. It is our intention to fill positions and contracts locally when possible.
China aims to reduce their coal consumption to less than 65% total energy use by 2017 in order to curb pollution levels. As the cleanest burning fossil fuel, LNG is the best and most reliable source to help transition away from high emission fuels.
British Columbia currently has enough natural gas reserves to develop an LNG export industry for 150 years and British Columbia’s coast is ideally situated to export LNG to Asia.
