Background

Trieste Monfalcone LNG Terminal is a proposed liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal in Gorizia Province, Italy. The project was originally announced by Endesa in 2004. Endesa Italy was taken over by E.ON in 2007. In August 2011, Slovenia's foreign ministry registered alarm and opposition over an announcement by an Italian official that Rome is preparing to approve plans by a subsidiary of the German energy company E.On to build an offshore liquefied natural gas terminal in the Gulf of Trieste. The ministry also opposed plans by SNAM Rete Gas to construct an accompanying pipeline under the Adriatic Sea from Trieste to Grado and on to Villesse, Italy.

There have been no development updates since 2011 and the project is presumed to be cancelled.
