The Memorandum describes the basic principles, responsibilities and the cooperation framework for the implementation of the gas transmission pipeline that will take over in the national gas transmission system of the gas treated at the new gas treatment plant in Corbu, Constanta County.

According to Transgaz, the agreement also covers “cooperation in the field of research, innovation, technology transfer, decarbonization and the use of new technologies, injection of hydrogen into the gas pipe to ecologically extract gas, thereby contributing to mitigating climate change.”
