The US Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) has issued a certificate of approval to Pembina Pipeline for the proposed $10bn Jordan Cove LNG project.
The project involves the construction of a 7.8 million tonnes per annum (Mtpa) LNG export terminal at Coos Bay and the 368km-long Pacific Connector gas pipeline to connect the facility with the Malin gas hub in Oregon, US.

The LNG export facility and the pipeline will be operated by Pembina’s subsidiaries Jordan Cove Energy Project and Pacific Connector Gas Pipeline, respectively.
The latest approval follows the completion of comprehensive environmental, safety and security reviews involving feedback from both federal and state agencies, Tribes, landowners and many other stakeholders.
Pembina senior vice president and chief legal officer Harry Andersen said: “We appreciate FERC’s science-based approach to their review. The approval emphasizes yet again that Jordan Cove is environmentally responsible and is a project that should be permitted given a prudent regulatory and legal process was undertaken.

“The FERC’s decision is due in no small part to our many supporters who have turned out time and time again to voice their support for Jordan Cove and to show that the Project is in the public interest, including in Southern Oregon and the Rockies Basin.”
