Transalpine oil pipeline

Using EU funds, the Czech government plans to provide EUR 114 million for the expansion of the Transalpine (TAL) oil pipeline, which links the Italian port of Trieste with refineries in Austria, Germany and the Czech Republic. TAL serves 100 per cent of Bavaria’s needs, 90 per cent of Austria’s and 50 per cent of the Czech Republic’s. In the Czech Republic, the pipeline is connected to refineries in Kralupy and Litvínov through the Ingolstadt–Kralupy–Litvínov (IKL) oil pipeline.
