Teen solves centuries-old math problem
MINSK, Belarus, Feb. 24 (UPI) -- Construction of a second leg of the Yamal-Europe gas pipeline is promising because of its low cost compared with other planned routes to Europe, officials said.
Polish Deputy Prime Minister Waldemar Pawlak touted the so-called Yamal-Europe 2 during a meeting with his Belarusian counterpart, Andrei Kobyakov, in Minsk.
Pawlak said construction of the second leg could move more quickly and at less cost than rival projects considered for diversification of the European energy sector, the Belarusian Telegraph Agency reports.
Yamal-Europe 2 would connect gas fields in Western Siberia to European customers through Belarus and Poland, sidelining conventional routes through Ukraine.
Europe put energy diversification at the top of its agenda following a gas row in January between Russia and Ukraine, which left customers scrambling for natural gas when Russian energy giant Gazprom disrupted supplies.
Gazprom last week informed Polish gas companies that gas supplies would remain at around 75 percent of their full capacity until both sides finalize negotiations on a new contract.
