Russia typically supplies about 40% of Europe's natural gas, mostly by pipeline. Deliveries last year were around 155 billion cubic metres (bcm)....
Germany, Europe's biggest consumer of Russian gas, which has halted certification of the new Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline from Russia because of the Ukraine war, could import from Britain, Denmark, Norway and the Netherlands via pipelines.
Norway, Europe's second biggest gas supplier behind Russia, has been raising production to help the European Union towards its target of ending reliance on Russian fossil fuels by 2027.
Britain's Centrica (CNA.L) has signed a deal with Norway's Equinor (EQNR.OL) for extra supply for the next three winters. Britain does not rely on Russian gas and can also export to Europe via pipelines.
Southern Europe can receive Azeri gas via the Trans Adriatic Pipeline to Italy and the Trans-Anatolian Natural Gas Pipeline (TANAP) through Turkey.
The United States has said it can supply 15 bcm of liquefied natural gas (LNG) to the European Union this year...
Germany is among those who want to build new LNG terminals. It plans to build two in just two years....
Spain wants to revive a project to build a third gas connection through the Pyrennes mountains but France has said new LNG terminals, which can be made to float, would be a quicker and cheaper option than a new pipeline....

and 7 months ago, nobody was even talking about these ideas, because everybody still trusted Russia
those days seem so long ago now
Well, gee… we COULD drill and refine here … and have AMERICANS sell it to Europe, but…. Nahhhh…
Greta has been placed in charge of the Unicorn farms—and their excrement will give Europe all the hot air it needs!
;-)
Trump tried to warn them.
All very expensive. Yet the EU still refuses to frack. Amusing they are building floating natural gas terminals to import American liquefied natural gas. Most of that gas comes from Trump era permitted fracking sites. The hypocrisy knows no bonds.
If?
Well partially true; Bidet is selling our emergency fuel supply to China.
Eating cold bugs in the dark is what you get for listening to Greta
Greta’s current quest is to ban wood burning (currently rated as “carbon neutral” by Euro countries).
Maybe they can burn solar panels and windmills
define “expensive”
the question Europe needs to ask itself is -
does it really make sense to save a little geld while you’re actually financing the Russian War Machine that is trying to ultimately destroy you??
the very money that Europe sends to Russia is used to buy weapons that will be used to ... attack Europe! That’s idiotic!!
Not our problem! Not a drop of American oil should go to Europe or anywhere.
How about nat gas?
Nonsense!
President Trump repeatedly warned the Germans about being over reliant on the Russians for their energy and offered so;utions, only for the arrogant Germans to laugh at him.
Well the Germans are not laughing now, and they will laugh even less when they are freezing in the winter.
Trump’s point was, if you are afraid of Russia, then don’t be dependent on them for your energy, and don’t fund them. And rebuild your militaries.
And if you’re not afraid of them, why do we waste our time with NATO?
Yes, Pres. Trump was spot on and ahead of his time
too bad Europe didn’t listen
And it should all stay in the US.
One is to sell their children to Soros or the UN Blue Helmets ...
