According to local reports, Eustream is planning to construct a new gas pipeline from Slovakia to the Bulgarian-Turkish border. The proposed pipeline, providing an alternative to the recently terminated South Stream project, would supply the Balkans with gas from sources different from Russia. This would ensure that countries such as Bulgaria and Serbia could receive gas even if Russian supplies via Ukraine are disrupted.
The new ‘Eastring’ gas pipeline, which will have a capacity of approximately 20 billion m3/y and cost Eustream around €750 million (US$928 million), would reportedly connect to the company's existing system, which has a capacity of more than 80 billion m3, to Ukraine's Soyuz pipeline leading to the Romanian border. According to press reports, Eustream is planning to present the project to the Slovak Industry Ministry by 25 December.

When the tanks are full, the liquefied carbon dioxide will be loaded onto a dedicated carrier from Royal Wagenborg and shipped to the INEOS Nini platform in the Danish North Sea. From there, it will be safely injected via pipeline into subsurface reservoirs approximately 1800 m beneath the seabed for permanent storage.
