LPG should first be shipped from Baltimore in the UK to the UK and then to the European continent, UK ambassador to the United States Karen Pierce told MSNBC. Appropriate agreement has been reached with the port of Baltimore. This is a temporary measure.
Reduce your dependence on gas
Handelsblatt, citing EU diplomats, also informs that the US would supply the EU with significant amounts of liquefied natural gas (LNG). US President Joe Biden and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen wanted to announce an agreement on Friday. The United States agreed to guarantee Europeans a supply of concrete in quantities. The goal is to reduce Europe’s dependence on Russian gas.
Two North Sea terminals
The energy pact involves a significant amount spread over several years, the newspaper continues. This does not mean that the problem of supplies to the EU has been resolved, but the agreement is considered an important element in building independence from Russian energy exports. In Germany, two terminals are to be built in the North Sea with the support of the federal government to facilitate the import of liquefied gas by tankers.
Due to the war in Ukraine, European countries are struggling to become independent from the hitherto very extensive gas supplies from Russia. The US government circles stated that important messages regarding energy policy can be expected during the current visit of US President Joe Biden to Europe.
