The Japanese edition wrote about the difficulty of replenishing gas reserves by Europe without Russian supplies

European countries will face serious problems in replenishing gas reserves in 2023 if they are left without Russian gas imports. This is written by the Japanese edition of Nihon Keizai.

In 2022, due to anti-Russian sanctions and sabotage on the Nord Stream and Nord Stream 2 gas pipelines, Europe found itself in a difficult energy situation. Energy prices have risen significantly, supply stability has disappeared. In 2023, the situation could become even more uncertain and complex, analysts say.



In the future, the reserves of gas storage facilities in Europe will only decrease. European countries will hardly be able to replenish them without Russian supplies, which will lead to increased competition between gas-consuming countries for additional supplies of liquefied natural gas (LNG). Thus, the growth of LNG prices will also continue.

Interestingly, earlier European environmentalists demanded that Belgium reduce imports of Russian LNG. Thus, while the European countries are feeling worse and worse in the "energy" dimension, the socio-political forces working for the United States are trying to further push through the idea of ​​abandoning Russian gas.

It is surprising that European governments are actually working against their peoples and states, following the lead of the United States and destroying the European economy with their own hands - both the EU as a whole and individual European states in particular.

    And why should the Japanese worry about Europe? Think about deliveries to your country. And then suddenly, there are none.

    Whoever was chosen is what they got. I had to think before.

      The situation for the EU is already awful, no matter how their leaders puffed up. Yes, they didn’t freeze ... and next winter they won’t freeze. But the EU economy is becoming less and less competitive every month due to high energy prices. However, if they shot themselves in the head for the sake of this uncle, that's their problem.

        Europe will not crawl on its knees, on the contrary, the worse it gets for them, the more guilty we are .... Millions of unsatisfied transsexuals with fanatical persistence will turn Europe into a big Ukraine with torchlight processions and burning symbolic houses of trade unions, something like this

    Is it difficult to replenish with gases from Russia??? Heat with firewood and coals, and send Greta to the refrigerator, to Greenland in shirts!

    Yes. Winter is coming to an end, and gas reserves in underground storage facilities exceed 70%. This is a historical maximum for Europe. Never before in the first ten days of February was there so much gas in European storage facilities. As of Monday morning, occupancy was about 70.5%
    Now the price of gas on the TTF exchange is $639 per 1000 m3, although half a year ago the price on the same exchange was more than $3000.
    Prices are steadily creeping down.
    Why are you misleading people?

      Here, many people love such "rich noodles", they are ready to discuss it every day. Work is so...

      And why would the head of the Federal Network Agency of Germany, Klaus Müller, declare on February 3 that in the last week of January, the inhabitants of Germany saved too little gas.
      Why - Germany needs to continue to save energy despite ample gas reserves to prepare for spring and summer. This was stated on Monday by German Economy Minister Robert Habeck at a conference of the Handelsblatt newspaper in Berlin.https://tass.ru/ekonomika/16809795
      The past part of the winter turned out to be tolerable for the EU, but where are the guarantees that this will continue in the future ... Mother nature won back in Asia in winter, in China, record frosts for 45 years ... that mother nature has prepared for the end of winter, spring and summer ... lucky in winter, but then, the heat creates consumption peaks no less than frost ... and then "cheers for the storage facilities are full", only the price at which they are filled, where to write off ... and how even the fallen gas price is competitive for industry
      Leonard Birnbaum, CEO of E. on, which supplies gas to 14 million consumers, told Der Spiegel... "We cannot rely on a warm winter to help us again," he said, stressing that in Germany and the whole of Europe needs to save much more gas. Industrial consumers in Germany have made savings of around 20% in recent months, but partly through production cuts, and the method "doesn't work for long" as it "threatens jobs and well-being" in the long run.

        Why why?
        And why did M. Schumacher live in Switzerland, and why did he go to Germany for marmalade, because it was cheaper. It's just a national feature - frugality and rationality.

      Propaganda sir! laughing
      There is a complete strategic proser of Miller's Gazprom. Rejection of our gas, blown streams.
      When it was necessary to build "pipes" for the transfer of gas from Western Siberia, oriented to Europe, to Eastern Siberia, oriented to China and Asia, the "property" reveled in fabulous gas prices in Europe, and they thought it would last forever. This project was worked out and even contractors were identified. Where is Miller, ay, the boy is missing.
      In a couple of years, gas will go from Leviathan (Israel) to Southern Europe, which then the irremovable "leaders of the national heritage" will sing.

    Where is Japan and where is Europe. Now the Japanese are already trolling the EU. The Japanese themselves did not leave the Sakhalin 1 and 2 projects. Russian gentlemen, the head of all Sakhalins, I obey and obey. Japan is good with gas and oil. And now let's see how Europe will save American gas when ours runs out in storage. Now let's see how much the extra gas that does not go for injection will cost in storage and goes immediately to consumption. With ours, prices reached $ 3. With the American one, how much will it cost on the TTF spot, where they will take a deficit of 000 billion cubic meters, which will fly out this year. Let them replace the American one. We don’t take our gas into account, it will explode at any moment. How is the production of fertilizers in Europe. 30 tons stolen from our oligarchs will not be enough for Europe, European farmers will not support high yields without fertilizers.

    Yes, it’s kind of calm in the EU, there are difficulties, but not so critical, but gas prices seem to have crept down

    This is strange.
    The Europeans filled the vaults back in November. And, due to the warm winter, gas consumption is small.
    This means that next winter it will be necessary to fill less.
    Almost all European countries have signed long-term LNG contracts. Who is with Qatar, who is with Algeria, who is with the States.
