It is Qatar’s first deal with the Eastern European country, which must now build an $848.2m terminal in order to receive the supplies. The deal will meet around 10 percent of Poland’s domestic demand.

Poland, which currently meets 30 percent of its gas needs from its own resources, 40 percent from Russia and the remainder from a variety of sources, has been looking for further ways to diversify its supplies.
