EAPC’s Ashkelon natural gas receiving station is one of the gateways for the natural gas from offshore reservoirs. From the start of 2020, the facility is also used for export of natural gas from Israel to Egypt.

The natural gas receiving station is connected to the Israel Natural Gas Lines Company’s system. The entry junction of natural gas in Ashkelon, along with the discovery of significant gas reservoirs opposite the shores of Israel, led the company to explore further possibilities for using natural gas for other industrial purposes.
