AMSTERDAM: A Royal Dutch Shell Plc.-backed liquefied natural gas project in British Columbia secured environmental permits from federal and provincial regulators in a sign that the fledgling industry is gaining momentum.
The federal ministry of environment said LNG Canada must comply with 50 legally binding conditions throughout the life of the project.
The LNG Canada Export Terminal Project underwent a thorough science-based environmental assessment conducted by the Government of British Columbia, which included extensive and meaningful consultations with the public and Aboriginal groups,” Leona Aglukkaq, minister of environment said in a statement.
The environmental assessment process benefited from scientific and technical expertise, Aboriginal traditional knowledge as well as constructive feedback received during consultations, to enable an informed decision by both governments.”
