Kitimat LNG is a subsidiary of Galveston LNG Inc.
The Kitimat LNG Terminal will receive natural gas supplies via pipeline from the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin. At the Terminal, the gas will be chilled to minus 160 degrees Celsius, at which point it becomes liquefied natural gas (LNG). The LNG is stored in full containment tanks and then shipped in specially-designed marine vessels to markets in Asia, where demand for clean natural gas is strong and growing. The Kitimat LNG Terminal will adhere to government regulatory and state-of-the-art engineering and safety standards.
