LNG: The natural gas itself consists of the much stronger greenhouse gas methane. And that escapes in mining and transport. Combustion not only produces CO2. The think tank "Energy Comment" also writes that up to 10 percent more methane gas escapes from LNG from the USA than from gas from Norway. With Norwegian methane gas, only 0.02 percent would end up in the atmosphere. The think tank writes: Of course, climate-friendly alternatives would be best anyway . https://www.msn.com/de-de/finanzen/top-stories/und-das-gas-kommt-doch/ar-AA196R2p ocid=msedgdhp&pc=U531&cvid=738e9c8fc71d47f0f77c75d1c8e73913&ei=101 And the gas is coming, article from the 26th of March 2023: Despite the delivery stop, Russia is becoming the third largest LNG supplier for Europe via detours. The EU and especially Germany have greatly reduced dependence on Russian LNG. Germany has not received any Russian pipeline gas since 02 Sept 2022. There was a delivery stop from Moscow on the same day. But according to the US think tank IEFFA, 12 percent more LNG from Russia is now arriving at LNG terminals in Europe. This makes Russia the third largest LNG supplier to Europe after the USA and Qatar. There are LNG terminals in France, Spain, Belgium, Netherlands, Great Britain, Italy. In Germany, terminals have now also been built on the North and Baltic Seas, with more to follow. Germany does not receive LNG directly from Russia. According to IEFFA, it reaches Germany via existing pipeline networks from Belgium and Holland.
