Indian energy firm to build LNG plant in Canada

Construction could start in two or three years.

Indian company H-Energy has revealed plans to acquire 240 hectares of land from the province for a possible LNG plant and export terminal along the Strait of Canso in Nova Scotia, Canada.

H-Energy director Darshan Hiranandani said the company is interested in acquiring the land, which consists of two 120 hectare parcels, if the results of feasibility studies on the project are favorable. Construction could begin in two or three years, he noted.

Nova Scotia’s business development agency confirmed it has been talking to H-Energy for more than a year about the project. It has not made any financial commitment to the plan, however.
