Poland could construct second FSRU amid Czech and Slovak interest

Poland could construct a second floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) aside from the one already being planned in the port city of Gdansk. The option is being considered due to high interest in purchasing liquefied natural gas (LNG) from the Czech Republic and Slovakia, the Czech News Agency reported on Monday citing Poland’s Environment Minister Anna Moskwa. Both countries are currently looking to cut their dependency on Russian gas and are therefore exploring alternate delivery methods.

Poland is already planning the construction of a floating storage and regasification unit in Gdansk, which should be finished by 2026 and have a capacity of transforming six billion cubic metres of gas a year.
