The first Russian-Iranian joint LNG plant is planned to be built in the Chelyabinsk region by 2027, as reported by Nikolai Isakov, Vice President and Executive Director of the Russian Gas Society. The joint venture will be developed by Kriogaz Chelyabinsk (Russia) and North-South Corridor Development Group (Iran).

The Southern Gas Corridor (SGC) will expand by at least 1.2 billion cubic meters per year starting from January 2026, thanks to the capacity increase of its European segment, the Trans Adriatic Pipeline (TAP). By this time, the potential for transporting a blend of hydrogen with other low-carbon gases through TAP is expected to become clearer.
