北溪-2寻替代天然气路线以避开丹麦领海

中国石化新闻网讯 据WENews.com网站8月12日休斯顿报道，由俄罗斯牵头的北溪-2管道国际财团周五表示，该国际财团日前已向丹麦申请一条穿越波罗的海的替代天然气管道以避开这个北欧国家的领海。

北溪-2项目是否能在本国波罗的海沿岸附近建造，丹麦面临两难的选择，而丹麦议会可能会通过立法以安全为由否决通过丹麦领海的北溪- 2管道。

俄罗斯急于推进北溪- 2管道的建设，这是因为俄罗斯有潜力将其绕过与其关系不佳的传统路线乌克兰通过波罗的海海底向德国出口的天然气数量增加一倍。

丹麦政府在这个由俄罗斯能源巨头俄罗斯天然气工业股份公司牵头并得到5家西方公司资助的投资95多亿欧元（109亿美元）的北溪-2项目上一直受到俄罗斯、欧盟盟友和美国的激烈游说。美国反对这个项目，而一些东欧国家则担心这个项目将使欧盟成为俄罗斯天然气的“人质”。

但是，丹麦不想单独行动并推迟了对新立法的决定。

Nord Stream 2 Seeks Alternative Route to Avoid Danish Waters

The Russia-led Nord Stream 2 consortium said on Friday it has applied to Denmark for an alternative gas pipeline route through the Baltic Sea that would avoid the Nordic state's territorial waters.

Denmark is facing a dilemma on whether the project can be built near its Baltic coast and its parliament may pass legislation allowing it to veto the Nord Stream 2 pipeline going through Danish territorial waters on security grounds.

Russia is keen to press ahead with the Nord Stream 2 pipeline since it has the potential to double its gas exports under the Baltic Sea to Germany, bypassing traditional routes through Ukraine with which it has poor relations.

The Danish government has come under fierce lobbying by Russia, EU allies and the United States over the 9.5 billion euro ($10.9 billion) Nord Stream 2 project led by Gazprom and financed by five Western firms. The United States opposes the project while some eastern European countries fear it will make the EU a hostage to Russian gas

But Denmark does not want to act alone and has postponed a decision on the new legislation.
