Background

Zaule LNG Terminal is a proposed liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal in Trieste, Italy. The project was first proposed by Spanish firm Gas Natural Fenosa in 2004. It would cost about $600 million.

The EIA was completed in July 2009. As of 2013, Italy and Slovenia were in a dispute over the project, with Slovenia calling for it to be cancelled.

In March 2015, two years after cancelling the project's environmental permits, the Ministry of Economic Development apparently began the process of granting a new environmental permit.

In May 2018 Gas Natural Fenosa cancelled the project.
