波黑国家台1月7日报道。波黑联邦前总理、能源专家埃德海姆.比恰克契奇指出，南部互联互通项目是 波黑今年最重要的项目和最大投资。 比恰克契奇认为，南部互联互通项目无疑将提高波黑的天然气供应安全，并在天然气来源和供应路线多 元化方面提高灵活性。相关的政治问题已经解决，大量技术数据也已确定。此外，波黑可能成为通往北 部(克罗地亚和匈牙利)和东部(塞尔维亚和保加利亚)的天然气过境国，这意味着波黑还可能将通过向其 他国家输送天然气而获利。 关于南部天然气互联互通管道的建设，比恰克契奇指出，在波黑境内，管道从波苏什耶入境点算起，将 长达180公里，并设有通往莫斯塔尔和特拉夫尼克的两个分支。管道的年均输气规划容量达15亿立方 米，建设工程需要约2.5亿欧元。比恰克契奇强调，新的天然气输送路线还应使波黑南部地区全面实现 天然气化，并为工业生产者供气。南部互联互通项目后续还应规划和建设新的天然气基础设施，以实现 氢气和生物气的运输。(驻波黑使馆经商处) ...
