Description
A comprehensive feasibility study was carried out to determine the technical and financial viability of a connection to the European Natural Gas Network. The proposal of various different supply scenarios (FSU, FSRU, Pipeline) and the evaluation of alternative supply concepts (LNG-NG) was a major part of rendered services. Preparation and elaboration of a financial and socio-economic Cost-Benefit Analysis (CBA). Another part of the scope was the preparation of Impact and Risk Assessment as well as the identification of areas that require special consideration for environmental management with respect to the implementation of the project.
