Temporary suspension of the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) programme for the planned CO₂ transshipment terminal in Klaipėda

On 8 April, the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) programme for the planned carbon dioxide (CO₂) transshipment terminal at the KN Energies site in Klaipėda, published by the Environmental Protection Agency, was temporarily suspended. The decision to suspend and review the EIA programme was taken by KN Energies itself.

The company intends to re-evaluate the proposed solutions for the terminal’s planned economic activity and, once this is completed, to resume the review of the EIA programme. It is expected that this will ensure a more comprehensive EIA analysis. Information about the revised EIA programme will be provided in accordance with the procedures laid down by legislation.
