Europe Gas Imports

  1. That’s actually interesting and probably important when it comes to any possible sanctions against Russia if they invade Ukraine

  2. How much is the port in Klaipeda taking in? Didn’t they build the LNG terminals there to try and import less gas from Russia?

  3. Set our thermostat to 19 degrees, saving a bunch of money and now stay toasty by cuddling up with the wife and the dog. Wins all round.

    Fuck Russia up by cuddling!

  4. Gazprom offered to conclude long-term contracts for the supply of fuel, but some decided that they were the most cunning and decided to buy gas through the exchange. And where the exchange is, there are speculators, that’s why the price has gone up so much.
    Of course there is a choice to buy the most democratically pure gas from America, where it is charged with particles of free and equality.

  5. My last work project was remotely connected to LNG.In this case I will only refer to Germany.Germany is obliged by EU law to build up a required LNG minimum infrastrcuture. Interestingly though this does not include a refinery which if you ask me makes this whole thing pointless.

    Much of the LNG that is used in the western part of Germany is imported from the Netherlands where it is refined in Amsterdam afaik. And all the gas they refine in Amsterdam is fracking gas that they import from the USA that is then transported to the Netherlands. I bet if you told this to the Germans they’d be against it.

    My source for the first paragraph:[https://www.dena.de/fileadmin/dena/Dokumente/Pdf/9237_Fortschrittsbericht_der_Initiative_Erdgasmobilitaet_und_der_LNG_Taskforce.pdf](https://www.dena.de/fileadmin/dena/Dokumente/Pdf/9237_Fortschrittsbericht_der_Initiative_Erdgasmobilitaet_und_der_LNG_Taskforce.pdf)

  6. Apparently, the German new government wants to stop using all gas by 2040. It’s rather an ambitious goal. And it will fuck over the Russian gas market. But they still should be able to sell it to China and others.

  7. Norway is in a really envious position when it comes to energy production. Out of the european nations, only Turkey is really able to imitate them

  8. My favorite part is how UK does not get any from Russia, but the tabloids were blaming Russia for it. Meanwhile own policies were at fault.

  9. The Algerian pipeline crossing Morocco trough Spain is currently closed, apparently because the conflict Algeria-Morocco. The only one operating between Algeria and Spain in the little one crossing the Mediterranean Sea, although this one is being amplified and improved.

  10. That’s why I picture Putin laughing every time the west threatens with sanctions. Recently Biden proposed cutting Russia off SWIFT, which effectively means they wouldn’t be a ble to do any international business without bank transfers.

    Well, it implies selling no gas. It’d become a game of letting Russia survive without EU money (as we stop buying gas), or Russia letting Europe freeze. I’m afraid we can only lose in that game, and it makes me sorry for Ukraine as we can see it coming.

    The transition to renewables isn’t going even nearly fast enough, and besides Russian dependency, it’s high time to do it for the climate.

  11. Can someone explain something to me? Do all the countries in the Three Seas Initiative not accept gas from Russia and find their own ways of getting it? Just assuming based off the map
