LNG

The Canada Energy Regulator (CER) said it had approved an application from Chevron Corp. for a 40-year licence to export natural gas from the proposed Kitimat LNG project on the Pacific Coast of British Columbia despite environmental opposition.

Gazoduq and GNL Québec, two Canadian companies proposing to transport feed-gas from Western Canada and export it as LNG from a liquefaction plant at Saguenay in Quebec, have rejected a critical report by a Montreal-based body looking into their corporate structures and possible taxation levels were the projects approved and constructed.
