Putinin energiakiristyskortti muuttui mustapekkakortiksi, Euroopan kaasuriippuvuus Venäjästä on lopussa

"Sonnenfeld added that upon further analysis, Europe is actually fully capable of replacing Russian supply "without any need for demand destruction or even substitution away from gas." Europe is already purchasing enough gas and liquefied natural gas from alternative sources to make up for the loss of Russian flows.

He estimated that the EU now sources just 9% of its gas from Russia, down from 46% before the war, as pipeline-delivered supplies from Norway and Algeria as well as LNG from the US and elsewhere have helped offset cuts from Moscow.

"It is easy to overlook this revolution because it is still very new. But a review of every large LNG development project, liquefaction terminal and production field shows that this year alone, more than 100bn cubic metres of additional supply is expected to be brought online. This is a 20% increase in total LNG supply," Sonnenfeld said.

And as demand for LNG is declining in other parts of the world, especially in China, the additional supplies should fully replace the gas Europe consumed from Russian pipelines, he added.
