Statement from LNG Canada
on announcement from the
Government of Canada
LNG Canada welcomes Finance Minister
Bill Morneau’s announcement that the Government is providing relief from duties on fabricated steel contained in large complex LNG modules required for construction of our LNG export facility in Kitimat, British Columbia, in the traditional territory of the Haisla Nation.
Canada has the opportunity to produce the cleanest LNG in the world, which in turn o ers importing countries a competitive option to displace coal- red facilities that are large contributors to global warming
and poor air quality. e opportunity is only realized if projects like ours are able to access capacity and expertise that under certain circumstances, can only be provided by suppliers in other parts of the world.
Being able to deliver a competitive project will bring 10,000 jobs during construction and related economic bene ts to First Nations, local communities, B.C. and to all Canadians. LNG Canada will also be a major contributor to the provincial and national economies and a major contributor to provincial and federal tax revenues over the project’s lifetime.
LNG Canada is committed to hiring locally, within B.C. and Canada, and ensuring Canadian companies and skilled Canadian tradespeople have the opportunity to work on and bene t from the Project.

FERC approves Elba LNG oil at Unit 3
I grant your August 9, 2019 request for Elba Liquefaction Company, L.L.C. and Southern
LNG Company, L.L.C. (collectively referred to as “Companies”) to introduce hot oil
to MMLS unit #3 as described in the led request. e information led is consistent with Environmental Conditions 12, 76, and 78-84 of the Commission’s June 1, 2016 Order Granting Section 3 and Section
7 Authorizations (Order) in the above- referenced docket.
is approval is based on review of the information led on March 29 and August 9, 2019, as well as FERC sta inspections of the applicable facilities. Please note that this approval does not grant the Companies the authority to introduce hazardous uids to other project facilities at the LNG terminal. fERC, August 12, 2019

Mayer Brown represents CLP Power in Hong Kong offshore LNG terminal project
Mayer Brown has advised CLP Power Hong Kong Limited in connection with the Hong Kong O shore Lique ed Natural Gas (LNG) terminal project, which involves the use of oating storage and regasi cation unit (FSRU) technology for the rst time in Hong Kong. e FSRU will receive, store, and regasify LNG into two separate subsea gas pipelines
to supply natural gas to Castle Peak Power Company Limited and Hongkong Electric Co., Ltd., generating power for Hong Kong residents.
Mayer Brown advised CLP Power Hong Kong Limited on the FSRU charter and regasi cation agreements and operation and maintenance services to be provided to the
o shore LNG terminal with Mitsui OSK Lines (MOL), one of the world’s largest shipping operators. MOL will be responsible for providing the operations and maintenance services of the FSRU vessel and the o shore LNG terminal.
e Mayer Brown team was led by LNG practice leader (Asia) Nick Kouvaritakis
in Singapore and included partner Nathan Dodd and senior associate Matthew Chow (both Singapore), partners - omas Moore (Houston), Menachem Hasofer and Bill Amos (both Hong Kong).
e Hong Kong O shore Lique ed Natural Gas (LNG) terminal project is part of the Hong Kong government’s strategy to have 50 percent of Hong Kong’s electricity generated from natural gas beginning in 2020.
Mayer Brown has established itself as
a go-to law rm in the LNG sector, with extensive experience advising on upstream project development, midstream regas
and transportation and downstream sales arrangements. e rm has represented clients in a number of LNG import projects, including the Jawa-1 LNG to power project, which involved a major 1.76GW combined- cycle gas- red power plant in West Java, Indonesia.

Gas processing
innovations spur increased
deployments, including role
in power generation mix
LNG technologies, such as oating LNG (FLNG) innovations, driven by its shorter construction lead times and lower capital investment costs, are increasingly becoming a viable option for increased gas deployments. FLNG helps mitigate siting constraints that shore-based infrastructure may face.
At the same time, the continued need for a balanced power generation portfolio as well as the need to address energy security and environmental concerns are driving rapid growth in the gas industry. to support this, Black & Veatch is enhancing its ability to provide clients with FLNG expertise that o ers cost and operational e ciencies.
“As countries seek alternatives to baseload feedstock for power generation and, in
some instances the need to address heavily subsidized fuel oil-based generation, gas- red generation o ers a reliable alternative that helps create a more balanced energy portfolio. Floating liqui ed natural gas (FLNG) technologies provide LNG exporters
