The U.S. is interested in constructing alternative pipelines and specifically the Nabucco project, U.S. Ambassador to Kazakhstan Richard Hoagland said.

"There is enough gas in Central Asia to fill 10 or 20 pipelines like Nabucco. Another issue is what routes we should take to transport Central Asian gas to European consumers," he said.

Plans abound, Hoagland added, but the final decision depends on the commercial aspects of the projects.

"Finally, all decisions will be accepted based on commercial purposes. Every sovereign country will make this decision for itself," Hoagland said.
