GNL Quebec has been developing the Énergie Saguenay Project since 2014, involving the construction of a natural gas liquefaction complex at Port Saguenay. The goal is to export 11 million tonnes of liquefied natural gas (LNG) per year, sourced from western Canada. The Project includes liquefaction equipment, storage facilities, and marine shipping infrastructures. The Project is worth an estimated US$9 billion and is slated to start operations in 2026. GNL Quebec aims to build the world’s first LNG facility of such magnitude to be powered by hydroelectricity from a preexisting local grid. This will significantly contribute to lowering GHG emissions and operatingk costs, compared to similar large-scale LNG plants across the industry.
