Energy technology company Baker Hughes has won a contract to supply electric-driven liquefaction technologies for Cedar LNG, a proposed floating liquefied natural gas (LNG) facility in Kitimat, British Columbia.
Specifically, Baker Hughes will supply four electric-driven main refrigeration compressors, two electric-driven boil-off gas compressors, and six centrifugal pumps. Together, the supplied technologies will help Cedar LNG achieve its goal of becoming one of the lowest-carbon-intensity LNG facilities globally.
Baker Hughes was awarded the contract by Black & Veatch, a global engineering, construction, and consulting company. The contract continues the positive demand momentum for Baker Hughes’ gas technology equipment portfolio following several major LNG orders throughout the past year.
Laszlo von Lazar, President of Black & Veatch’s Energy & Process Industries Business, said, “The Cedar LNG project represents an important step towards reducing carbon emissions through lower-carbon LNG facilities that can supply customers looking to move away from more carbon-intensive feedstocks.”
“This is an important aspect of near-term decarbonisation plans around the world, and Canada’s abundant natural gas supply means Cedar LNG is in a strong position to accelerate this phase of the energy transition.”
Just last week, Cedar LNG gave the green light to start engineering and construction work following the signing of several long-term sales deals.
The news marks a critical milestone in getting financing in place before a final investment decision can be made to go ahead with the project, which is expected in mid-2024.

Cedar LNG brings together the Haisla Nation and Pembina Pipeline Corporation to develop the Haisla Nation-led project.
The project is a key element of the Haisla Nation’s economic and social development strategy and will advance reconciliation by allowing the Haisla Nation to directly own and participate in a major industrial development in its territory.
