EU and US agree gas supply deal to end Russian dependency

The issue is critical as Russia is the EU’s biggest natural gas supplier, accounting for more than 40% of imports

Just a tiny fraction of European gas comes in the form of LNG.

The European Union and the US announced an agreement to try and boost the supply of liquefied natural gas (LNG) to European countries by the end of 2022 with at least 15 billion cubic meters.

The aim is to work with international partners to help the continent wean itself off Russian fuel imports. Under the agreement, EU member states will work to ensure demand for 50 billion cubic meters of US liquefied natural gas until at least 2030.
