Woodfibre LNG has welcomed one of the most important modules of its facility to site as the liquefaction module arrived aboard the specialized heavy cargo vessel Red Zed 1. The liquefaction module is the 15th module to arrive at site as the project moves closer to construction completion.
Weighing 10,847 metric tonnes, it is the heaviest module to become part of the future Woodfibre LNG facility. Occupying a footprint roughly the size of a football field, it is also among the largest.
“The liquefaction module is the beating heart of our facility. It’s the core of how we will transform B.C. natural gas into LNG to be shipped around the world.,” said Luke Schauerte, CEO of Woodfibre LNG, “As the world’s first LNG export facility using renewable power for electric-drive liquefaction, this module represents the core of our commitment to net-zero operations and setting a new standard for LNG, both in Canada and around the world.”
The liquefaction module is the central component of the LNG production process. Once installed and commissioned, it will cool natural gas to approximately -162°C, compressing it into an energy-dense liquid so it can be effectively and safely shipped overseas.
