Project details
In order to deliver natural gas from Coastal GasLink to Cedar LNG, the following components are being considered as part of the proposed Cedar Link Project:
- Cedar Link Connector: The proposed connector would be an approximately 0.4 km lateral pipeline that starts inside the LNG Canada export facility, travels within the facility footprint, and ends at a point just outside the facility wall for connection and delivery to Cedar LNG.
- LNG Link Meter Station: Although not technically a part of Cedar Link, Coastal GasLink would also build the proposed meter station in parallel with the connector to preserve accurate and independent measurement of natural gas delivered to LNG Canada once Cedar Link goes into operation. The new meter station would also be located within the LNG Canada export facility.
- While these two components would be mostly located within the boundaries of the LNG Canada export facility, they would both be built and operated by Coastal GasLink and separate from LNG Canada’s projects and operations.
Working with Indigenous and local communities
Coastal GasLink and the Cedar Link Project are committed to creating meaningful opportunities for Indigenous and local community participation in the project. We anticipate the construction of these facilities will create new hiring, procurement and community investment opportunities throughout construction and operations should a decision be made to move ahead. We are also committed to providing benefits to communities in the long-term, through investments, sponsorships, and programs that go beyond our operations.
