Why LNG specifically? There are other sources of pipeline gas that aren’t coming from Russia.
- steve_adams_86 4y agoWhat are other sources of pipeline gas? Where I live everything is LNG so I figured that all there is. What else can be transported and used in LNG lines?
- sveme 4y agoNorway and the Netherlands are the largest provider of pipeline gas to Germany at the moment, for example.
- MomoXenosaga 4y agoThe Netherlands is switching off. Serendipity: just before Ukraine war the political decision was made to end gas extraction. Germany is not happy about that.
- raarts 4y agoAnd neither are a lot of Dutch at the moment...
- iSnow 4y agoAlgeria is one source of pipeline gas in Southern Europe
- petre 4y agoAlgeria has already cut its exports to Spain because the Sanchez gov't supports Morocco's peace arbitrage in Western Sahara. Libya is in the middle of a civil war and the Russians are backing up Khalifa Haftar's LNA, who controls most of the territory, oil and gas fields. Thus Northern Africa is not such a reliable source.
- rich_sasha 4y agoGas pipelines across Europe are quite fragmented. I understand Iberian peninsula is as-good-as cut off from the rest of the continent. I can't imagine there is much capacity going from Italy across the Alps. So if you want to ship gas to an arbitrary location, it's more likely to be LNG.
