Canaport LNG is constructing a state-of-the-art LNG receiving and regasification terminal in Saint John, New Brunswick that will begin operations in late 2008.

We will be the first LNG regasification plant in Canada, sending out natural gas to both Canadian and American Markets. We will have a send-out capacity, or the ability to distribute via pipeline, 1 billion cubic feet (28 million cubic meters) of natural gas a day after we have regasified it from its liquid state.

The process works like this: natural gas, in its liquefied form, will arrive by water to Saint John in specially designed LNG tankers and will be offloaded by being pumped through pipes into LNG storage tanks on land. The terminal will then return the stored LNG to its original gaseous form in a process called regasification. This clean-burning natural gas will then be distributed via underground pipelines for use as fuel for markets in Canada and the United States. There, it will be used for home heating and cooking, as well as for many industrial purposes, including generating electricity.

Canaport LNG is proud to bring safe, clean energy to our Saint John community and beyond. We’re also proud to employ local companies and workforce as we contribute to the continued economic development of our community.

We understand our responsibilities to be a good citizen in our community, and so we are committed to protecting and vigilantly monitoring public health and safety, particularly the health and safety of our closest neighbours. As part of that commitment, we comply completely with all safety and environmental standards and local Saint John regulations.
