AGRI: First Ever LNG Project in the Black Sea

Eurasia daily Monitor-James town Foundation
"Azerbaijan, Georgia, and Romanian are jointly launching a liquefied natural gas (LNG) project, designated as the Azerbaijan-Georgia-Romania Interconnector (AGRI). The three governments regard their project as an element in the EU-planned Southern Corridor for Caspian gas to Europe.
AGRI envisages transporting Azerbaijani gas by pipeline to Georgia’s Black Sea coast, liquefying it there, shipping the liquefied product by tankers to Romania’s coast, and delivering the re-gasified product into Romania’s pipeline system and onward to EU territory.
On April 13, Azerbaijan’s Industry and Energy Minister, Natig Aliyev, his Georgian and Romanian counterparts Alexander Khetaguri and Adriean Videanu respectively, signed in Bucharest an inter-governmental memorandum on production and transportation of LNG. AGRI is the first-ever LNG project in the Black Sea. Underscoring the significance of LNG to the EU’s energy security, Romania is asking the EU to elevate AGRI to the status of a European priority project (Rompres, Agerpres, April 13–15).---"
