The Globe and Mail reports in its Wednesday edition that Canada Infrastructure Bank has retained a consultant who specializes in liquefied natural gas as it reviews the possibility of financing for the planned Ksi Lisims LNG project in British Columbia. The Globe's Brent Jang writes that David Keane, a former president at Woodfibre LNG, said his appointment as an adviser to the federal Crown corporation is meant to help advance LNG projects in Canada. "Projects such as Ksi Lisims LNG exemplify what is possible when strong Indigenous leadership, clear vision and disciplined execution come together," he said in a recent LinkedIn post. The Nisga'a Nation, Houston-based Western LNG and a group of natural gas producers called Rockies LNG are partners in the Ksi Lisims venture in northwest B.C. The B.C. and federal governments both conditionally approved Ksi Lisims last September. The backers of Ksi Lisims are expected to make a final investment decision by the end of 2026. Canada Infrastructure Bank, or CIB, said in a recent statement that "there is no decision or commitment related to" Ksi Lisims presently. Shell PLC-led LNG Canada, this country's first LNG export terminal, started shipping last June to Asia from Kitimat.
