RE: EU admits no net-zero without natural gas28 Apr 2021 15:23
Not necessarily selling to Eire Mick. Their politicians may refuse our non fracked LNG, as it's not a done deal they will see sense. However, they have promised to honour existing exploration and drilling licences so from what I gather, we can build our FSRU in their waters anyway and sell elsewhere if needs be.
Who knows, maybe even the UK? We are increasingly reliant on imports and that part of Eire is certainly an awfully lot closer than Qatar or Norway. Our other big supplier, The Netherlands is obviously in the EU and things may get a little fraught over coming months.
Quick question, when we build an FSRU offshore Eire and if we sell LNG to the UK, would we be considered to be exporting from the EU to the UK, as we are a British company I'd think not, but who knows?
Alternatively, would it be permissible to build and operate an FSRU in international waters. The beauty of these things is that they are mobile, who would otherwise police the seas if not?
