The Globe and Mail reports in its Wednesday edition that Petronas is taking steps to dig in for the long term by designing a 1.6-kilometre-long suspension bridge to minimize the liquefied natural gas venture's environmental impact. The Globe's Brent Jang writes that Petronas is hoping the bridge will help save its proposed $11-billion liquefied natural gas project. The project is currently under an environmental review. Mr. Jang says Petronas is devising plans to build a suspension bridge to ensure its LNG operations near Prince Rupert in northwestern British Columbia will not interfere with habitat for fish and marine mammals. The suspension bridge design is the major change contained in a new 64-page engineering report aimed at persuading environmental regulators to approve the Petronas-led Pacific NorthWest LNG joint venture. Pacific NorthWest LNG sent the report to regulators Monday, just hours after Petronas's boss warned the B.C. project is in danger of being shelved for up to 15 years unless tax and regulatory issues are resolved by Oct. 31. The suspension bridge is the centrepiece of Pacific NorthWest LNG's revised plan to obtain an environmental assessment certificate.
