Trigon Pacific Terminal's B2BC Project: Transforming Energy Exports in Prince Rupert
Key Ideas
- Trigon Pacific Terminals is investing $173 million in the B2BC project in Prince Rupert, British Columbia, to diversify and increase terminal capacity, including exporting hydrogen and LPG to Asian markets.
- The completion of this project will position Trigon as a key export terminal on the North Coast, accommodating Supramax, Panamax, VLGCs, and VLACs vessels, meeting the growing demand for energy exports to Asia.
- In addition to the B2BC project, Trigon is developing other initiatives to adapt to market changes, diversify its activities, and contribute to the economic development of the Prince Rupert region.
- The global hydrogen market presents significant opportunities for Canadian producers, with Trigon strategically placed to capture market share by producing hydrogen and ammonia as alternatives to traditional fossil fuels.
Trigon Pacific Terminals Limited (Trigon) has achieved a significant milestone with its Berth Two Beyond Carbon (B2BC) project in Prince Rupert, British Columbia. The $173 million investment aims to boost the terminal's capacity from 18.5 million to 33.5 million tonnes annually, with a focus on exporting hydrogen and LPG to Asian markets. Supported by Transport Canada's funding, over 50% of the marine work is complete, including the installation of marine habitat-focused artificial reefs.
The expansion will enable Trigon to diversify and become the primary export terminal on the North Coast, catering to large vessels like VLGCs and ammonia carriers. The terminal's modernization is set for completion in early 2027, enhancing its capabilities to meet the escalating energy export demand.
Apart from the B2BC project, Trigon is working on developing additional projects like converting storage areas for thermal coal into LPG facilities. These initiatives underline Trigon's commitment to adapting to market changes and driving economic growth in Prince Rupert through job creation and business opportunities.
With an eye on the global hydrogen market, Trigon is strategically positioned to capitalize on the shift towards hydrogen and ammonia as cleaner energy sources. The company aligns with Canada's strategy to tap into the growing hydrogen market, aiming to secure a significant market share and strengthen its international presence.
Trigon's forward-thinking approach and readiness to respond to market dynamics highlight its resilience and strategic acumen in the energy sector. The Prince Rupert terminal's rejuvenation positions it as a pivotal hub for Canadian energy exports, facilitating trade with Asian partners and contributing to the energy landscape's sustainable future.
