Background

Goldboro LNG Terminal is a proposed LNG terminal in Nova Scotia, Canada.[1]

If constructed, Goldboro LNG Terminal's gas would be delivered via the existing Maritimes & Northeast Pipeline. The LNG produced at Goldboro LNG project would be shipped to Europe, South America, and Asia.[2]

The facility has secured a binding offtake buyer agreement with Uniper.[3] Proponents of the project have reported that the Goldboro project has not faced the same opposition that is common among LNG projects in Western Canada.[4]

In July of 2019, construction of Goldboro LNG was postponed until the end of September 2020.[5]
