Qatar and Italy are reportedly planning to construct their second liquefied natural gas import terminal in Italy.
Guido De Sanctis, Italian Ambassador to Qatar, said that the new LNG terminal will not only be useful for Italy but will also help Qatar in catering to the whole of Europe, according to a report by The Peninsula.
The proposed project has to go through many processes and challenges, including political, environmental and issues related to employment, the report added.
The existing Adriatic LNG facility is located offshore of Porto Levante, in the northern Adriatic Sea. The terminal is operated by Qatar Terminal, a unit of Qatar Petroleum, ExxonMobil Italiana Gas, and Edison.
