Second oil refinery plan surfaces in area By Cameron Orr
THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR
KITIMAT - A company called Pacific Future Energy backed by a Mexican telecommunications billionaire has announced a proposed $10 billion oil refinery which it promises will be the world’s greenest. The “near zero net carbon” emission refinery will be developed in partnership with First Nations groups, the company said an a news release last week. “We believe this is an incredibly unique opportunity to build the greenest refinery in the world and there’s no better place than BC,” said Samer Salameh, Ex-

Premier Christy Clark said last week she is stepping aside from any decisions related to new oil refineries after the emergence of a new refinery proposal

involving her ex-husband. Mark Marissen has been hired as vice-president of Pacific Future Energy. “I learned that this proposal was going to become something real last week,” Clark said, adding she then contacted the provincial conflict-of-interest commissioner for guidance. “It is my understanding that this proposal doesn’t depend or isn’t linked to any pipeline proposal,” Clark told reporters. She will refer all government deliberations on any refinery proposal to Finance Minister Mike de Jong. NDP finance critic Mike Farnworth called it the right decision.
