Exxon Mobil Corp., the world’s largest energy company by market value, asked Canada for permission to export 30 million metric tons of liquefied natural gas annually from British Columbia.
Exxon is assessing potential construction sites for an LNG plant that would include six processing units in the Kitimat and Prince Rupert areas, the Irving, Texas-based company said in an export-license application filed with Canada’s National Energy Board yesterday. Exports would begin in the 2021 to 2023 time frame, according to the filing.
