- 24 December 2025 - Woodfibre LNG recently marked 2025 as a year of
significant progress across construction, environmental protection and
community partnerships, as the project moved deeper into its development
phase toward delivering responsibly produced Canadian liquefied natural
gas to global markets.
Over the past year, the project advanced from planning into visible,
on-the-ground execution. Major construction milestones included the
pouring of foundations for key modules, continued progress on marine
piling, and further implementation of modular construction techniques
designed to reduce on-site footprint while accelerating delivery
timelines.
These advancements were achieved through close collaboration with
project partners, suppliers and contractors, and in partnership with the
Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Úxwumixw (Squamish Nation).
In 2025, Woodfibre LNG, a member of the RGE group of companies founded
by Sukanto Tanoto, continued to operate its floatel workforce
accommodation solution, designed to minimise pressure on local housing
and community services. As of November, two floatels were in active
operation, providing high-quality, safe and comfortable living
conditions for the project workforce while supporting construction
efficiency.
Environmental protection remained a central focus throughout the year.
The project's Marine Mammal Monitoring Programme, which includes
hydroacoustic monitoring, exclusion zones and shore-based observation
posts, delivered measurable outcomes by enabling real-time operational
decisions, including pauses to marine activities when marine mammals
entered exclusion areas.
In parallel, remediation of legacy materials from the former pulp mill
site continued, with hundreds of thousands of tonnes of historical waste
removed. These efforts have contributed to improving site conditions
for both local communities and marine and terrestrial ecosystems in Howe
Sound.
Woodfibre LNG's Operator Training Programme, delivered in partnership
with the Squamish Nation Training and Trades Centre and the British
Columbia Institute of Technology (BCIT), progressed throughout the year.
The programme's first cohort of graduates transitioned into full-time
roles, supporting the development of long-term, skilled local employment
opportunities linked to the project.
Through its Community Partnership Programme (CPP), Woodfibre LNG
continued to invest in local communities across the Sea-to-Sky corridor.
In 2025, the programme surpassed $1 million in total grants since its
inception, supporting initiatives in sports, healthcare, emergency
services, arts and culture, and youth development.
Luke Schauerte, CEO of Woodfibre LNG, said, "2025 has been a year of
significant progress for Woodfibre LNG. We are proud of what our team
and partners have accomplished together and look forward to building on
this momentum in the year ahead."
With more than half of the project's development now complete, Woodfibre
LNG remains focused on advancing construction safely and responsibly,
while maintaining strong partnerships with Indigenous communities, local
stakeholders and regulators.
As the project looks ahead to 2026, Woodfibre LNG continues its work
toward delivering lower-carbon, responsibly produced Canadian energy to
international markets.
