BMT has secured a contract by McDermott International to deliver an Integrated Marine Monitoring System (IMMS) for the Woodfibre LNG facility in Squamish, British Columbia
Woodfibre LNG is poised to become the world’s first net zero LNG export facility, utilizing British Columbia’s renewable hydropower and cutting-edge emission reduction technologies to set new industry benchmarks for environmental sustainability.
The Woodfibre LNG facility, located on the historical site of the former Woodfibre pulp mill, will produce 2.1 million tonnes of LNG annually for international markets. Its innovative use of electric compressors, powered by renewable hydroelectricity, is expected to result in a carbon intensity of just 0.04 tonnes of CO2e per tonne of LNG - well below the regulatory benchmark of 0.16 tCO2e/tLNG.
Woodfibre LNG is being developed with the full participation and oversight of the Sḵwxwú7mesh Úxwumixw (Squamish Nation), who are both partners and regulators of the project, ensuring that the site is developed in alignment with indigenous cultural and environmental values. Construction of the LNG facility began in late 2023.
BMT's IMMS will play a critical role in ensuring the safe and efficient marine operations of the facility. The system will provide real-time monitoring across several key areas, including meteorological and oceanographic monitoring,
