FortisBC Energy Inc. has announced that it is proceeding with a new project at its Tilbury LNG facility in Delta, British Columbia. The Tilbury Truck Loading Expansion project will involve the construction of two new loading bays to double the facility’s capacity to provide customers with LNG.
FortisBC’s Tilbury LNG facility has been operating since 1971 and was expanded in 2018 to produce more LNG for local ferry and truck transport customers. The facility currently fills more than 1000 LNG containers from its two loading bays for transport and overseas customers per year and is continuing to see customer growth. The Truck Loading Expansion project will allow FortisBC to better serve those customers as it moves toward its 30BY30 target of reducing its customers’ emissions 30% by 2030 by providing LNG as a lower-carbon fuel alternative to diesel or marine fuel.
