Trans Adriatic Pipeline (TAP) transports natural gas from the giant Shah
Deniz field in the Azerbaijani sector of the Caspian Sea to Europe. The 878 km
long pipeline connects with the Trans Anatolian Pipeline (TANAP) at the
Turkish-Greek border in Kipoi, crosses Greece and Albania and the Adriatic Sea,
before coming ashore in Southern Italy.
TAP will facilitate gas supplies to
South Eastern European countries through prospective interconnectors. TAP is
connected to Interconnector Greece Bulgaria (IGB) which started its commercial
operations in October 2022, providing Caspian gas to Bulgaria, enhancing
security of energy supplies in one more European country. TAP's exits in Greece
and Albania, together with the landfall in Italy provide multiple opportunities
for further transport of gas from Azerbaijan to the wider European markets.
As a key part of the Southern Gas
Corridor, TAP is strategically and economically important to Europe and
essential in providing reliable access to a new source of natural gas. TAP
plays a significant role in boosting Europe's energy security, supply
diversification, as well as its decarbonisation objectives.
