EU issues emergency natural gas plan telling people to use less gas to keep winter reserves as less LNG flows
The European Commission, the executive arm of the 27-nation European Union, has decided on emergency plans to immediately reduce natural gas demand now so that there would be more in reserve for winter as concerns persist of a complete cut-off of Russian supplies as LNG shipments are set to decline compared with last week.
Nord Stream II test
Oct 5 (LNGJ) - Nord Stream II, the Gazprom-led pipeline natural gas project taking additional gas from Russia to Germany and the European Union in competition to LNG, has started filling one of its two pipelines ahead of commercial operations scheduled for year-end. The pipeline will double Russia’s existing gas pipeline export capacity under the Baltic Sea to 110 billion cubic metres, equal to more than a half of Russia’s current total pipeline gas supplies to Europe.
