LNG

Serbia, the Balkan state that was part of the former Yugoslavia and has been a candidate nation for 10 years to be a member of the European Union, has completed an interconnector pipeline to Bulgaria giving the Serbs supply options of regasified LNG from Greece or pipeline gas from Azerbaijan to replace Russian supplies.

Gazprom, the Russian pipeline natural gas giant competing with LNG in the European Union, produced 422.6 billion cubic metres of gas in the January-to-October 2021 period, an increase of 15.8 percent, or 57.7 Bcm on the same period of last year.
