Background
In 2014, it was announced that India-based company H-Energy (a venture of the Hiranadani Group) were planning on developing an LNG export terminal at Byers Cove in the Melford industrial area of Nova Scotia. The project was shared to have a capacity of 13.5 mtpa. It was announced that MOUs had been signed for half of the planned production. The project aimed to be operational by 2020.[5]
In May 2015, AC LNG Inc., a subsidiary of Hiranadani Group, applied for a license to import natural gas and export LNG. The proposal divided the project into three phases. Phase I would be an FLNG of 3.5 mtpa capacity. Phase II would be a second FLNG of 3.4 mtpa capacity. Phase III would be an onshore facility with an additional 8.6 mtpa capacity. The total project would be 15.5 mtpa.[6]
There have been no development updates since January 2016. As of 2020, the project is considered cancelled.
