Background

In March 2014, Stolt LNGaz proposed an LNG export terminal at Bécancour, Quebec that would produce 500,000 tons of LNG per year. The LNG would be transported by LNG ships and trucks directly to customers, where it would be re-gasified on site. Production would begin in 2018.[4]

In August 2015, the Quebec government approved the project, which was valued at more than US$600 million.[5]

In May 2016, the project received an export license for up to 0.835 bcm/year for 25 years, though the license would expire in May 2026 if exports had not already commenced.[6]

There have been no development updates since 2016, and the project is presumed to be cancelled.
