Market Opportunities: While currently under-developed, in the next few years, the LNG market in Finland is expected to see significant development, prompted by, among other things, the energy policy objectives of the European Union. The large-scale regional LNG terminal planned for the Baltic Sea region is one of the EU’s key energy infrastructure Projects of Common Interest (PCI). Once constructed, an interconnector gas pipeline will be laid, crossing the Baltic Sea and connecting the national gas grids of Estonia and Finland. The Finnish Government is also providing LNG investment support, intended for terminals used in the import or cargo handling of natural gas, as well as in the discharge, storage and supply of such gas, and for the design and construction of related equipment. The planned terminals by AGA, Gasum, Skangass, and the MangaLNG consortium will enable the increased use of LNG-fuelled cargo and passenger vessels in the Gulf of Finland, but also the transportation of natural gas to areas outside the natural gas network, diversifying the energy supply across the country.
