With Royal Dutch Shell revealing TransCanada Corp. will build a $4-billion pipeline to a liquefied natural gas plant it plans for the B.C. coast, the first major project is now on the table since the federal government unveiled its two-year regulatory review process.
The 700-kilometre pipeline – with initial capacity to deliver 1.7 billion cubic feet of gas a day – would run from Dawson Creek in northeastern B.C. to what will be the largest of three LNG plants proposed for the coastal town of Kitimat.
