GAS NETWORKS

Introducing natural gas into new regions, mainly island, isolated, peripheral and ultraperipheral regions, and developing natural gas networks in these regions: United Kingdom (Northern Ireland) Ireland Spain Portugal Greece Sweden Denmark Italy (Sardinia) France (Corsica) Cyprus Malta Ultraperipheral regions in France, Spain, Portugal. Developing natural gas connections in order to meet the needs of the internal market or strengthening the security of supply, including connection of separate natural gas and olefin gas networks: Ireland — United Kingdom France — Spain France — Switzerland Portugal — Spain Austria — Germany Austria — Hungary Austria — Hungary — Slovakia — Poland Poland — Czech Republic Slovakia — Czech Republic — Germany — Austria Austria — Italy Greece –Balkan countries Austria — Hungary — Romania — Bulgaria — Greece — Turkey France — Italy Greece — Italy Austria — Czech Republic Germany — Czech Republic — Austria — Italy Austria — Slovenia — Croatia Hungary — Croatia Hungary — Romania Hungary — Slovakia Hungary — Ukraine Slovenia — Balkan countries Belgium — Netherlands — Germany United Kingdom — Netherlands — Germany Germany — Poland Denmark — United Kingdom Denmark — Germany — Sweden Denmark — Netherlands. Developing the capacities for receiving LNG and for storage of natural gas needed in order to meet demand, control gas supply systems, and diversify sources and supply routes: all Member States. Developing the natural gas transport capacity (gas supply pipelines) needed in order to meet demand and diversify supplies from internal and external sources, as well as supply routes: Nordic Gas Grid: Norway — Denmark — Germany — Sweden — Finland — Russia — Baltic States — Poland Algeria — Spain — France Russia — Ukraine — EU Russia — Belarus — Ukraine — EU Russia — Belarus — EU Russia — Baltic Sea — Germany Russia — Baltic States — Poland — Germany Germany — Czech Republic — Poland — Germany — other Member States Libya — Italy Tunisia — Libya — Italy Caspian Sea countries — EU Russia — Ukraine — Moldavia — Romania — Bulgaria — Greece — Slovenia — other Balkan countries Russia — Ukraine — Slovakia — Hungary — Slovenia — Italy Netherlands — Germany — Switzerland — Italy Belgium — France — Switzerland — Italy Denmark — Sweden — Poland Norway — Russia — EU Ireland Algeria — Italy — France Algeria — Tunisia — Italy Middle East — East Mediterranean Gas Ring — EU Winksele (BE) blending installation on the north-south axis (blending of H gas with nitrogen) Capacity upgrade on the east-west axis: Zeebrugge (BE) — Eynatten (BE). Actions improving the functioning of the interconnected natural gas networks within the internal market and transit countries, in particular, identifying the bottlenecks and missing links, developing solutions in order to deal with congestion and adapting methods of forecasting and of operating natural gas networks efficiently and safely: identifying the bottlenecks and missing links, especially cross-border, within the natural gas networks, developing solutions for natural gas flow management in order to deal with the problems of congestion within the gas networks, adapting the methods of forecasting and operating natural gas networks required by the functioning of the internal market, increasing the overall performance, safety and security of the natural gas networks in transit countries. Developing and integrating the olefin gases transport capacity needed in order to meet demand within the internal market: all Member States.
