TheBrunswick Pipeline is anatural gas transmissionpipeline in theCanadian province ofNew Brunswick.
It runs from theCanaportliquified natural gas (LNG) receiving and regasification terminal at Red Head in eastSaint John, NB toWoodland,Maine in theUnited States where it connects to theMaritimes & Northeast Pipeline (M&NP). It is owned byEmera.
The Brunswick Pipeline is 145 km (90 mi) in length and 30 in (760 mm) in diameter. Construction began in November 2007 and the pipeline entered service in July 2009.
Approval of the pipeline by theNational Energy Board was controversial for several reasons. The project was challenged by M&NP on the grounds that it was unnecessary and that their system's Saint John Lateral had sufficient capacity to handle the export-oriented requirements of LNG imported to the Canaport terminal. M&NP contended that the Brunswick Pipeline was considered a "bullet" that bypassed their Canadian system to interconnect in Maine instead. The project was also challenged for environmental reasons due to its route in the city ofSaint John which crossed throughRockwood Park.
