British Columbia Government Study Says Kitimat Can Handle Energy-Related Growth

摘要

The airshed of British Columbia's northern port of Kitimat can handle ambitious plans for industrial growth, says a government-commissioned study. Proposed development in the area includes an oil refinery, four liquefied natural gas facilities, British Columbia Hydro's gas turbine-powered electrical generation facilities, modernization of the Rio Tinto Alcan aluminum smelter and a predicted increase to marine shipping in Douglas Channel as the endpoint to the proposed Enbridge Northern Gateway oil pipeline (37 INER 856, 6/18/14).
