France has become the largest buyer of Russian liquefied natural gas (LNG). This conclusion was reached by the Finnish analytical Center for Energy and Clean Air Research (CREA).
According to experts, Belgium is in second place in terms of the number of Russian LNG imports, Lenta.ru reports.
At the same time, it is clarified that we are talking about spot transactions, and not long-term supply contracts. This means that the authorities of these countries made a conscious decision to use Russian fuel.
Let us also remind that earlier it became known that LNG supplies from the United States to Europe last month exceeded Gazprom’s exports to the region.
“Russia’s recent sharp reduction in natural gas supplies to the EU has meant that this is the first month in history when the EU imports more gas through LNG from the US than through a pipeline from Russia,” Fatih Birol, head of the International Energy Agency (IEA), quoted RBC as saying. .
According to him, the European Union needs to make efforts to reduce domestic demand for gas and prepare for a harsh winter.
