The EU has made a difficult problem even worse by switching from pipeline gas to LNG.
LNG has anywhere from 10% to 100% more greenhouse gas emissions, depending on who you believe about how much methane leaks during LNG production and transport operations. Most credible estimate IMO is +60%.

- D_Alex 1mo agoReally? Do you have a credible source for this?
- maxhille 1mo agoThe Wikipedia article cites a long list of reputable news outlets. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2022%E2%80%932023_Russia%E2%80%93European_Union_gas_dispute#Gas_delivery_disruption,_April_2022_%E2%80%93_present https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2022%E2%80%932023_Russia%E2%80...
- D_Alex 1mo agoBut it doesn’t support your claim. In summary, Russia, after having their dollar and euro bank accounts frozen, demanded payment in roubles. It stopped supplying the gas to the customers who weren’t paying. After that, the EU announced it will stop buying Russian gas completely, and replaced it with LNG. Thus increasing the greenhouse gas emissions attributed to its gas use by about 60%. :(
