(Washington Composite Electric) International Energy Agency (IEA) said that the United States' natural gas supply to Europe first surpassed Russia's natural gas transmitted to Europe through the vapor pipe.
The EU's natural gas demand last year was more than one -third from Russia.However, after the gas transmission volume of Beixi No. 1 to the largest pipeline to Europe in the Russian Natural Gas Industry Corporation (Gazprom), and after cutting off the supply of countries that do not comply with the new payment regulations, Europe is seekingGet Russian natural gas.
The Director of the International Energy Agency, Bilo, posted a text saying: "Russia has recently greatly reduced the natural gas supply to the European Union, which means that this month is the first time in history.The natural gas imported from Russia through the pushing pitch ... Russia's supply declines, so that the EU is necessary to reduce demand and prepare for difficult winter. "
After the outbreak of the Russian and Ukraine war, the European Union agreed to buy an additional 15 billion cubic meters of LNG this year.The EU's goal is to obtain natural gas from different sources to replace the three -thirds of Russian natural gas supply.
Russia transports about 150 billion cubic meters of natural gas to Europe every year, and also supplys LNG from 14 billion to 18 billion cubic meters of liquefied natural gas to Europe.
Russia still sends liquefied natural gas to other European countries outside the United Kingdom; if it adds liquefied natural gas, Russia may still be the largest natural gas suppliers in Europe compared with the United States.
According to the British Petroleum Corporation's annual statistics of World Energy, Russia was the third largest LNG supply country in Europe last year, second only to the United States and Qatar.
However, in the past few weeks, the volume of gas transmission transmitted to Europe through the Beixi -1 pipeline has been greatly reduced, and the current gas transmission volume is only 40%of the previous normal amount.
Since Beixi No. 1 will conduct a 10 -day routine maintenance from the 11th of this month, it will be suspended at that time. The German government believes that Russia may not recover the gas transmission after the maintenance period is over.Started the ceased coal -fired cremation power station.
The German Economic Minister of Economic Minister Habeck emphasized that Germany must continue to work hard to increase natural gas inventory, and use the natural gas reserves to increase natural gas reserves from the current 60%to 90%before this summer and winter.At that time, if the two liquefied natural gas receiving stations in the plan can be put into operation, Germany will be likely to avoid the dilemma of natural gas shortage.
