Additional Gas Supply Routes to Europe Mooted

At a meeting between Alexey Miller, Chairman of Gazprom Management Committee and Han Fennema, CEO and Chairman of the Executive Board of Gasunie the two parties appreciated the partnership between the two companies, particularly, within the Nord Stream project.

It was pointed out that the gas pipeline successfully performed an important function of diversifying the channels of energy supply to Europe. At present, there is an obvious need for creating additional alternative routes for supplying gas to European consumers.

Alexey Miller and Han Fennema discussed the prospects for further cooperation in the liquefied natural gas (LNGLF) (LNG) sector. Among other things, they noted the need for the infrastructure development within the segment of using small scale LNG as a fuel for land and marine transport.
