Sep 16, 2024 · IEEFA’s European LNG Tracker is an interactive data set to visualise Europe’s LNG infrastructure, demand and capacity outlook, and import and export flows. (Updated: September 2024)

3 days ago · U.S. exports of liquefied natural gas (LNG) to Europe jumped in January as cold weather drove up demand and prices for the superchilled gas rose, preliminary data from financial firm LSEG showed.

Jan 31, 2025 · Importing liquefied natural gas (LNG) is a way to diversify the suppliers and routes the EU is using to obtain natural gas. It has become especially important since Russia invaded Ukraine and the EU needs to reduce dependence on Russian gas imports. The EU is the largest LNG importer in the world.

Liquefied natural gas helps make Europe’s gas supply more secure as it doesn’t rely on existing pipeline infrastructure, allowing EU countries to diversify the sources of their imports. Liquefied natural gas (LNG) is natural gas, predominantly methane, converted into liquid form for ease of storage or transport.

While US dominance over European LNG imports endures, Russia and Qatar are both still key supply sources, and Algerian LNG exports to Europe rose by some 22% year-on-year in 2023.

EU is the top global LNG import market. In 2023, EU Member States imported 134 bcm of LNG, making up 42% of total EU gas imports. The breakdown of LNG imports varied by country, with France being the largest importer at 30 bcm. EU LNG demand is likely to reach its peak in 2024.

Sep 12, 2024 · Europe reduced its LNG imports by 18 bcm between H1 2023 and H1 2024. This decrease is more than the 14.6 bcm of Russian gas exported to Europe via Ukraine in 2023. Find out more: https://www.ieefa.org/european-lng-tracker/

Nov 28, 2022 · Liquefied natural gas (LNG) import capacity in the European Union (EU) and the United Kingdom (UK) will expand by 34%, or 6.8 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d), by 2024 compared with 2021, according to the International Group of Liquefied Natural Gas Importers and trade press data.

Jan 31, 2025 · Growing LNG imports. In 2023, the EU imported over 120 billion cubic meters (bcm) of LNG. In 2023, the United States was the largest LNG supplier to the EU, representing almost 50% of total LNG imports. In 2023, comparing to 2021, imports from the US almost tripled. The largest LNG importers in the EU are: France; Spain; Netherlands; Belgium; Italy

Jun 14, 2022 · Europe’s (the European Union and the United Kingdom) liquefied natural gas (LNG) imports set an all-time historical record high in April 2022, averaging 16.5 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d) monthly and exceeding 19.0 Bcf/d on some days in April.
