Nov 1 (LNGJ) - AltaGas of Canada and Japanese oil refiner Idemitsu Kosan Co. have applied to the National Energy Board for a 25-year licence to export LNG from the cost of British Columbia. Calgary-based AltaGas and Idemitsu signed an agreement last January to form a joint venture, now known as Triton LNG, to export up to 2.3 million tonnes annually from either Kitimat or Prince Rupert.
