The Ministry of Environment for the Province of Nova Scotia (Canada) has issued environmental assessment (EA) approval, with conditions, for Pieridae Energy’s proposed Goldboro LNG project. Goldboro LNG consists of a liquefied natural gas (LNG) processing plant and facilities for the storage and export of LNG, including a marine jetty. It will produce up to 10 Mt/year of LNG and will have on-site storage capacity of 690,000 m3 of LNG. In June 2013, Pieridae entered into a 20-year sales agreement with E.ON Global Commodities SE to deliver approximately 5 Mt/year of LNG from Goldboro LNG to E.ON. The group has already submitted an application to the National Energy Board (NEB) to import up to 1 Bcf/d (10.3 bcm/year) of natural gas through the existing pipeline systems between Canada and the United States, and export up to 1.4 bcf/d (14.4 bcm/year, i.e. 10.7 Mt/year) of LNG from Goldboro to international markets. The final investment decision is expected in 2015 and Goldboro LNG could be operational in 2020.
