In June, Russia reduced gas supplies to Europe, while the US continued to export liquefied natural gas.
For the first time in history, the United States has surpassed Russia in gas supplies to Europe, Fatih Birol, head of the International Energy Agency, said in a statement. Twitter.
This was due to a sharp decline in Russia’s gas supplies in June.
“The collapse in Russia’s supply requires efforts to reduce demand in the EU to prepare for a harsh winter,” Birol added.
In June, Gazprom reduced gas supplies to Europe via Nord Stream 1 by 60%. The Turkish Stream also stopped for a week.
At the same time, Gazprom could use the free capacity of the Ukrainian GTS and the Yamal-Europe gas pipeline, but it did not, exacerbating the gas crisis in Europe.
Overall, in five and a half months, Gazprom reduced exports by almost a third – to 65 billion cubic meters of gas.
