(Paris Comprehensive) in Europe has more than 40%of natural gas supply imports from Russia. If Russia invades Ukraine, these supply may face risks, resulting in Europe without heating supply in this cold winter because of "linked".
Two -thirds of natural gas needed by Europe have rely on imports. In the past few months, Russia has restricted natural gas exports, leading to double the price of natural gas and increased power supply costs in Europe.
Although Europe can be imported from other countries to import natural gas, Broos, an expert on energy issues and professors of Paris Politburo, said: "Norway, Algeria and Azerbaijan also have natural gas pipelines, but these countries cannot increase production and production and productionAbility. "
This means that Europe must reduce its dependence on pipeline natural gas and seek more LNG (LNG) supply channels.
Demoilla, the head of the international liquefied natural gas importer organization, pointed out that Qatar, Australia and the United States are the world's largest liquefied natural gas exporter, and Europe can be changed from the three countries to import liquefaction natural gas.
Broos believes that the restrictions on Qatar, Australia and the United States port and facilities means that LNG cannot completely replace Russia's natural gas supply.
But experts believe that Russia is unlikely to completely cut off natural gas supply to Europe.
Eurasian group analysts pointed out that Russia "is extremely likely to completely cut off the supply of natural gas" because it will bring serious long -term risks to Russia's financial stability and its political influence in Europe.The European Union may also actively find different energy supply to reduce dependence on Russia.
