Bratislava LNG Terminal Project Canceled Due to Financial and Strategic Reasons
The LNG terminal project in Bratislava has completed its pre-project preparation phase but will not proceed to implementation. Public Ports stated that the project lacked a financial support and has limited demand for LNG as a fuel. Greenpeace Slovakia criticized the terminal since 2021, citing safety risks and environmental concerns. The project faced no approval for a timeline and was deemed a misallocation of public funds. Alternatives proposed include direct electrification for short inland waterways and green hydrogen for longer routes.
