    The Russian-language Anadolu Agency has warned that LNG will not replace Russia's energy supplies

    to Europe.

    It was pointed out that even if Europe used all its plants to its maximum capacity, its infrastructure would only absorb 145 million tons of LNG. Thus, imports of LNG at maximum capacity compensate only half of the raw materials coming from Russia.

    In this context, it was reported that the annual demand of European countries for natural gas ranges between 340-350 billion cubic meters. Last year, EU countries imported through a pipeline from Russia an average of 380 million cubic meters of gas per day, about 140 billion cubic meters of gas annually. If Europe wants to replace all Russian pipelines with LNG, it will have to import about 275 billion cubic meters of natural gas from other sources. This amount represents more than half of the world's LNG trade.

    The Turkish News Agency pointed out that in order to replace the gas pipeline supplies coming from Russia with renewable energy sources, wind farms with a capacity of 370 gigawatts must be built in Europe, and if Europe turns to nuclear energy, it will need an additional 115 gigawatts of installed nuclear capacity to replace it. Russian gas.

    Anadolu concludes that liquefied natural gas, which the European continent considers as an alternative, does not seem to be an achievable alternative in the short term.

    The former president of the European Commission, the former Italian Prime Minister, Romano Prodi, had said earlier that Europe will not be able in the short term to replace Russia as a supplier of natural gas. He stressed that the EU sanctions imposed on Russia in connection with the situation in Ukraine have not yet provided for an end to energy supplies.

    Russia launched a special military operation in Ukraine on February 24. President Vladimir Putin described its goal as "to protect people who have been subjected to humiliation and genocide by the Kyiv regime for eight years", and for this it is planned to carry out an operation "to disarm and eliminate Nazism in Ukraine", and to bring all war criminals responsible for "bloody crimes against civilians" in Donbass should be brought to justice, the Russian president said.
