PROJECT SITE

THE CHOICE OF QUEBEC

Quebec is an obvious choice to develop the Énergie Saguenay project because of its many assets that allow it to stand out on the world energy scene:

• Availability of renewable hydroelectricity reducing the plant's greenhouse gas emissions by 84% compared to a similar plant in the Gulf of Mexico
• Possibility of connecting in Ontario to the natural gas network coming 100% from Western Canada;
• Proximity to the European market and access to the Asian market;
• Cold climate leading to a gain in energy efficiency;
• Technical, economic and environmental viability.

Saguenay, a region familiar with major projects

 

 

A PREFERRED LOCATION TO BUILD A NATURAL GAS LIQUEFACTION PLANT

GNL Québec wishes to implement the Énergie Saguenay project on the site of the Industrial Zone of the Saguenay Port Authority. Several reasons make this site one of the best places in the world to operate a LNG facility and its export to Europe and Asia:

A deep-water port, well served, relatively far from densely populated areas and accessible year-round

• Road-train-maritime transport intramodality
• A highly qualified workforce and companies accustomed to major industrial projects
• Excellent quality infrastructure already in place (roads, utilities, railway line, airport and storage space available during construction)
