The EU is working to replace Russian gas with liquefied natural gas (LNG), with Greece aiming to become a regional hub. Romania and other Southeast European countries are also interested in participating in this process. Romania's state-owned transmission system operator SNTGN Transgaz has agreed to acquire a 15% stake in Mediterranean gas company Argo's project, which aims to process 4.6 billion cubic meters of liquefied natural gas per year. Transgaz recently took over the Moldovan national gas transmission system.
