Norway exported 2.9 Tcf of Natural Gas in 2005, according to Statistics Norway. The country is the second-largest supplier of natural gas to the EU, behind Russia. The largest recipient of Norways natural gas exports in 2005 was Germany (900 Bcf), followed by France (560 Bcf) and the United Kingdom (550 Bcf). The non-EU destinations of Norways natural gas exports were Czech Republic (97 Bcf), Poland (17 Bcf), and Switzerland (2 Bcf). Norway has a collection of micro-LNG facilities, mostly used by domestic distributors with occasional exports to Sweden. One such plant in Tjeldergodden has a capacity of 11,800 tons per year (t/y), while another in Snurrevardenin has a capacity of 21,600 t/y. In late 2005, UK engineering firm Hamworthyhas received a tender to build a micro-LNG plant at Kollsnes, with a capacity of 82,3000 t/y. On a much larger scale, Statoil plans to construct an LNG export terminal at Melkoya, near Hammerfest. The Melkoya facility, which will be the first, large-scale LNG export terminal in Europe, will consist of an anchored barge with Pipeline connections to the Snohvit project. Statoil plans to have the the project online by the end of 2006, with an initial capacity of 4.1 million t/y and a potential expansion to 8.2 million t/y. Most of the output from the Melkoya facility has already been contracted to El Paso for delivery to the United States, with smaller amounts going to Iberdrola in Spain.
