The government’s strategy to turn Greece into a natural gas and green energy export hub was presented by Environment and Energy Minister Kostas Skrekas on Wednesday while addressing an international conference on Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) held in Athens, ANA reports.
Skrekas underlined that exports of natural gas have already reached 2.5 billion cubic meters, up from 0.7 cubic meters last year, while the possibilities have multiplied with the addition of a new floating storage tank in Revythoussa that increases the terminal’s capacity by 65 per cent.
“The capacity of Greece’s LNG terminals can reach 20 billion cubic meters every year for the next two years,” the minister said, noting that the interconnection with Bulgaria may extend the LNG supply via Greece to Moldova and Ukraine.
