Siemens Energy has been selected as the single solution supplier for the all-electric Woodfibre LNG project near Squamish, British Columbia, Canada.
The environmentally friendly LNG facility will be located at the site of a former pulp and paper operation. It will be sized for 2.1m tonnes per annum and utilise clean, renewable hydroelectricity, reducing its greenhouse gas emissions by more than 80%.
Siemens Energy’s scope includes all equipment associated with the main refrigeration trains, including compressors, synchronous motors, variable speed drives, converter transformers, harmonic filters and numerous powerhouses.
The main refrigeration compressor trains are one of the components of the liquefaction process that produces the LNG that will eventually be stored in tanks and then transported to LNG tankers for shipping abroad.
The project is expected to reach substantial completion in 2027 and begin commercial operation by September of that year.
