The Gazelle pipeline will transport 30 billion cubic meters of natural gas a year, which is approximately 3.5 times more than the Czech Republic's consumption, said NET4GAS board member Radek Bencik. The Czech Republic is becoming an important gas transit crossroads in Europe, added Bencik. Gazelle connects the Opal pipeline in northern Germany with the Megal pipeline in southern Germany, both part of Nord Stream. | Foto: Ludvík Hradilek
