I mean, compared to pipelines, as mentioned in my comment. AFAIK, we (Spain) get most of our gas from North Africa (Algeria I guess?), so there are more pipelines into Europe, not just from Russia.
So I guess I more wanted to know how the costs compared between shipping this cryogenically frozen gas and importing natural gas from say Africa.
- disgruntledphd2 2y agoI believe that there are difficulties between Spanish and other countries in terms of pipe sizes et al, which makes the African route harder.
- toomuchtodo 2y agoI'd be curious what the time, effort, and cost would be to lay HVDC cable between Africa and Spain and burn the fossil gas in Africa (vs moving it to Europe over pipeline to burn). Over time, you could use storage and renewables on the Africa side to green the energy.
