Meeting Europe’s Natural Gas Demand

Summary:

With Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022 and subsequent halting of most pipeline natural gas deliveries to European countries, Europe's vulnerability to supply disruption has posed major security and economic concerns for many European governments and the EU. However, European counties were argely able to overcome the shortfalls in Russian imports because of increased imports by both pipeline and LNG from other suppliers (including from the United States), refilling of gas storage, drcreased consumption, and increased renewable generation.
