“Bulgaria gets the opportunity to buy natural gas from all world producers and unload it in Turkey. This is very convenient for us, because thanks to the agreement, the problem with the lack of infrastructure for unloading liquefied gas has been resolved,” Acting Minister of Energy of Bulgaria Rosen Hristov, who, along with his Turkish counterpart, was present at the signing of the agreement, told reporters..

If before the war in Ukraine Bulgaria was almost completely dependent on Russian natural gas, then according to the new 13-year agreement, Bulgargaz will be able to receive gas through Turkish LNG terminals and the Turkish gas network Botas.

Recall that today the gas terminal in Germany received the first batch of liquefied natural gas (LNG) from the United States. The Maria Energy tanker arrived at the port of Wilhelmshaven on the North Sea, where liquefied natural gas will be re-gasified at a special floating terminal opened in December by German Chancellor Olaf Scholz.

We also recall that back in October, the European Union declared independence from natural gas supplies from Russia..
