time, all the way to 2040.Without new gas transport capacity, projections indicate that the plant will be fully utilised up to 2050, based on already proven resources in fields and discoveries.A third option is to use gas from the Barents Sea to produce ammonia, which is then exported by ship.If a new gas pipeline is approved and built, it would be connected to a well-integrated subsea system for gas transport.Gassco is responsible for transporting gas to the European continent and to the United Kingdom through this system. The gas pipelines amount to a total of 8778 km of pipe.Director General Torgeir
