LNG Hrvatska

The project was first considered in 1995 when initial exploratory work was undertaken. A feasibility study was completed by 2008 and the location permit was issued in 2010 after environmental impact assessment was carried out. The project was developed by Adria LNG, which shareholders were E.ON Ruhrgas, Total S.A., OMV, RWE, and Geoplin. The consortium slated a 25% stake for Croatian partners, expecting to include oil company INA (14%), power company HEP and gas pipeline operator Plinacro (together 11%). In October 2009, one of the project partners RWE withdrew from the project. In December 2010 the consortium closed its office in Croatia, which marked the end of the project. In April 2016 First Deputy prime minister Tomislav Karamarko announced the restart of the project.

On 30 November 2017 front-end engineering and design (FEED) was developed by Belgian company Tractebel. FEED is like a basic variant of floating construction LNG terminal on the island of Krk predicted the "most complex" scenario, which involves the FSRU ship of larger dimensions and the construction of the foundations of the concrete shore system reinforced concrete caissons. The project was officially inaugurated in January 2021. In April 2022, due to the outbreak of the crisis caused by the Russian invasion of Ukraine, it was decided to increase the LNG gasification capacity to 338,000 cubic metres per hour, whi ch is about 2.9 billion cubic meters annually.

Due to the global energy crisis that started in 2021, the Government of Croatia made a strategic decision on August 18, 2022, to increase the capacity of the LNG terminal and the Zlobin–Bosiljevo gas pipeline. The capacity of the terminal will be increased to 6.1 billion cubic meters, and the investment will cost a total of 180 million euros, of which 25 million relate to the terminal and 155 million to the gas pipeline.

On April 14, 2023, Wartsila Gas Solutions from Norway and LNG Croatia concluded a contract worth 22.97 million euros for the delivery of an additional gasification module that will be installed at the terminal, with a maximum capacity of 250 thousand cubic meters of natural gas per hour, which will increase the terminal's capacity to almost doubled, to 6.1 billion cubic meters of natural gas per year. Production will last 22 months, and it will be installed on the ship LNG Croatia in the summer of 2025.
