over the transportation of hydrocarbons<br />
along the SCP and TANAP. If<br />
TANAP is eventually upgraded to accommodate<br />
60 bcm of gas, the SGC<br />
would become an important conduit<br />
for the transportation of energy<br />
to markets in the EU. A large-scale<br />
expansion of TANAP could revive<br />
projects such as the ITGI and Nabucco<br />
West. Officials at the European<br />
Commission repeatedly insist that<br />
Nabucco West may still have a role<br />
to play as gas demand in Europe continues<br />
to rise. In its current form, TAP<br />
can only be expanded to transport 20<br />
bcm per year.<br />
