The latest research by The Washington Post has revealed startling facts about the current situation in Europe related to the energy crisis caused by a decline in industrial activity. The decline in demand for energy sources such as gas has had serious consequences for the continent’s economy.
In a surprising turn of events, the European Union (EU) is on track to import record quantities of liquefied natural gas (LNG) from Russia this year, even as it aims to reduce its reliance on Russian fossil fuels by 2027. Despite heightened geopolitical tensions and a push for energy diversification, the EU’s imports of Russian LNG have surged, with Belgium and Spain emerging as the world’s second and third-largest importers of Russian LNG, following China.
The resurgence of potential strikes at major Australian LNG plants has ignited apprehensions regarding global gas supplies, thrusting gas-related risks back into the spotlight. The threat of strikes in Australia’s significant gas-producing regions raises the specter of disrupting the delicate equilibrium of global supply, potentially leading to escalated consumer bills.
