Frankreich gegen dritte Pyrenäen Pipeline
September 28, 2022 -
Spaniens Versuch eine dritte Erdgas Pipeline über die Pyenäen zu bauen wird durch Frankreichs Skepsis behindert. Die MidCat Pipeline könnte sieben Milliarden Kubikmeter Gas pro Jahr von Katalonien nach Südwest-Frankreich liefern.
Spain is reigniting its ambition to become western Europe’s new hub for gas imported from beyond the continent as the flow of Russian gas to the region through pipelines such as Nord Stream 1 dwindles, according to the Financial Times.
French president Emmanuel Macron however expressed France’s opposition to the multimillion euro project this month, saying the argument that MidCat would alleviate Europe’s gas problems was “factually false”, the FT said.
