Energy security

Croatia has gas reserves, but these are running out. It has only limited coal reserves:

“While Croatia produces 60 percent of its own gas needs, it imports the other 40 percent from Russia.”

(See EUbusiness: Croatia cuts gas to major consumers as crisis continues.)

“As the gas market develops, Croatia will rely more and more on gas imports, which means that all efforts shall be directed at the improvement of inter-and intraregional trade. New sources of supply and additional volumes of natural gas will be a priority at the turn of the century due to growing demand and lower production from indigenous reserves.”

(See Gas Centre Database: Highlights.)

“Croatia has limited amounts of petroleum and some bauxite.”
