Woodfibre LNG: Progress Amid Challenges | Canada News

Woodfibre LNG, Canada’s most ambitious liquefied natural gas project, is now 70% complete and poised to become the world’s first net-zero LNG plant — all while facing delays, rising costs, and environmental scrutiny. Located seven kilometers south of Squamish, this massive facility, built on a water-access-only site, is already housing 1,300 workers aboard converted ferry ships and features steel frames soaring 10-13 stories high. Originally budgeted at $5.6 billion, the project now costs $8.8 billion as logistical hurdles and marine pilings slow progress. Despite challenges, the plant — powered by renewables and designed to export clean LNG to global markets — is on track to deliver 90% of its output to BP Gas under a long-term deal. With global energy needs surging and coal still dominant in many regions, Woodfibre LNG argues Canada can lead with lower-carbon solutions — even as wildfires and environmental concerns linger.
