(Morning News) The International Energy Agency urged EU countries to immediately find ways to reduce demand for natural gas, because in the case of "disconnecting" in Russia, even if you work hard to find a diversified source of natural gas, you cannot meet the satisfaction of the sourceThe demand for Europe in the cold winter.
Agence France -Presse reported that after the outbreak of the Ukrainian war, the European Union, which comprehensively imposed sanctions on Russia, was trying to find natural gas supply outside Russia.
The European Commission Chairman Feng Delin said on Monday (July 18) that the European Union is seeking to double the import of natural gas from Azerbaijan.The two sides promised to expand cooperation in the energy field to increase Azerbaijan's natural gas conversion to Europe.
France and Italy are also seeking diversification of energy supply sources.French President Macron and the United Arab Emirates President Muhammad Signed a cooperation agreement in the energy supply ; Algeria announced on the same day that it will supply more natural gas to Italy on the same dayEssence
But the Director of IEA Billor bluntly stated in an article published on IEA on the 18th, "" Natural gas from non -Russian sources alone is absolutely not enough, because these supply cannot fill the stop supply due to Russia at all.The huge gap appears. "
Biror said:" Even if the natural gas from Norway and Azerbaijan reaches the maximum supply, even if the delivery volume of North Africa is close to last year, even if the natural gas output in Europe continues to follow up withRecently, the trend has remained consistent. Even if the increase in imported natural gas has reached a similar level of record in the first half of this year, this problem still exists. "
According to the analysis of the International Energy Agency (IEA), the EU countries must be in the future.In order to increase the natural gas reserve to 90%within a month, you can spend the winter in peace.Birore called on EU countries to conduct urgent coordination to avoid potential disasters of natural gas shortage this winter.
Biror warned: "Europe is now forced to operate under the state of continuous uncertain natural gas supply in Russia, and we cannot rule out the possibility of Russia completely cut off supply."
He also said: "The latest measure of Russia is a natural gas that compresses the flow to Europe ... this is a red warning message for the European Union."
IEA recommends that EU countries use other fuel to produce electricity as much as possible, while reducing the use of air conditioners in buildings to reduce the demand for power.
Reuters saw a letter from the Russian Natural Gas Industry Corporation (Gazprom PJSC (referred to as Russia) on the 18th on the 18th.Natural gas supply faces "Force Majeure".
Russia said that based on the "special" situation, Russian qi cannot fulfill its supply obligations.The force majeure clause dates back to the beginning of June 14.
"Pust -resistant" means that the contract cannot be performed in the face of unavoidable natural forces.
