The newspaper Biznes Klass writes that the ministry considers two alternative routes for the pipeline, one from western Siberia to Ukhta (Komi Republic) and to Murmansk (3600 km) and one from western Siberia to Ukhta and to Murmansk across the White Sea (2500 km). Minister Khristenko says the oil will be destined to the US market.
The project of the Ministry of Industry and Energy could revitalise plans for a pipeline to Murmansk, as proposed a couple of years ago by five of the leading Russian oil companies.

Bellona’s Roadmap for 2024-2029 calls on the EU to implement ambitious and science-based climate goals to achieve climate neutrality and strengthen EU security. By focusing on industrial decarbonisation, renewable energy integration, transparent climate policy, and green public procurement, the Presidency can lead the EU towards a resilient, competitive, and climate-neutral future. As such, Bellona calls on Poland to implement more concrete and ambitious climate policies and well-functioning markets for a net-zero world.
