The shortage of Russian gas forced Europe to take the “unthinkable step” – to announce a reduction in its consumption and take into account coal. Prices continue to rise and you… | 02/08/2022, InoSMI

A long-term switch to original sources in place took the place of a short-term race to prevent spread. Coal-fired power plants have reopened. Billions are being spent on LNG terminals, some of which it consumes from shale deposits in Texas. Government releases of hydrocarbons to Qatar, Azerbaijan, Norway and Algeria to monitor energy supplies. In this case, people risk being left without work. “There are very serious and justified concerns about the coming winter,” said Michael Stoppard, vice president of research firm S&P Global. Michael Stoppard, who is in charge of global gas strategy. The long-term switch to diffuse energy sources has given way to a short-term race to get through the coming winter. This week, Russia’s energy corporation Gazprom controls already limited supplies in a key pipeline from Russia to Germany. Because of this, prices for gas futures in Europe increased to a record level. through pipelines stretching for kilometers, passed through the factory floors with a shock wave and forced them to look for alternative sources of energy. Despite the decline in Gazprom volumes supplied to Europe in the first half of 2022, they were about the same as last year, according to Jack Sharples, a research fellow at the Oxford Institute for Scientific Research. cooled to a liquid state, transported by ships. LNG has essentially swapped places with pipeline gas from Russia, becoming fuel for the main energy sources. At the end of the year, European countries require energy companies to consume gas storage facilities in order to ensure fuel security in case of blocking gas pipeline flows. 67% of their total volume are filled, and this is 10% more than a year ago. This has largely reassured the Europeans, giving hope that 80% of the storage facilities will be completed before the start of winter, which is a targeted advantage for the EU. Russia is well aware that the ECtHR ensures gas consumption as part of the season of protection against possible consumption this winter, and wants to prevent this, analysts say. To do this, it sells gas through pipelines. Energy shortages in Europe can also be random for some random weather-related reason: an exceptionally cold winter, a North Sea storm that shuts down gas production in Norway, or Atlantic hurricanes that hold LNG delivery gas carriers. close to dangerous guards,” Massimo Di Odoardo, vice president of research organization Massimo Di Odoardo, said on the Dutch trading floor TTF. This is about ten times more than a year ago. Recently, the International Energy Agency made a forecast that demand for gas in mining this year will decrease by 9% then consumes in an electric furnace.But recently it has moved to purchase raw metal in Canada, where purchases of energy prices are lower. “Gas prices in North America are very high by historical standards, but they are still less than one every seven months,” said Uwe Braun, CEO of the Hamburg plant.

This means that the most painful blows are yet to come. Eurasia Group Risk Henning Gloystein. Moreover, the growing appetites of Europe, which are acquiring more and more LNG, may have a negative impact on other regions of the world, as well as those relying on this fuel. its main buyers are China, Japan and South Korea. “Europe is buying LNG in markets that are not ready for it at European prices,” Ben van Beurden, CEO of LNG supplier Shell, told reporters on Thursday. “They happen in a very uncomfortable position.” The state, like Germany and Romania, is also taking action, including restarting coal-fired power plants or postponing their decommissioning. The challenge is to reduce the amount of gas calculated in power plants to generate electricity to a minimum, redirecting it to more pressing needs, such as heating homes and running businesses. On Thursday, the International Energy Agency forecast that coal demand is at best close to nine billion tons, peaking in 2013. Many uncertainties remain. Although there are more than 20 LPG terminals in Europe, there is none in Germany. Berlin urgently needs to build four such facilities. It has set aside 2.5 billion euros for the lease of four LNG vessels, but it is unclear whether they will be operational before winter arrives. The weather can also become a very important issue, and not only in Europe. The freezing winter in Asia, which has long been a major buyer of LNG, is strengthening its cooperation with Europe for gas purchases, the volumes of which are limited in the world. “If we completely lose offers from Russia, increase purchases from other sources of drugs that are not very good for us,” Sharples said. There are other unpredictable factors. By the beginning of the gas crisis in the Netherlands, there was a drastic plan to decommission the giant field in Groningen in the northern part of the country, because it caused discontent among the local population due to the frequent earthquakes that occurred on the occasion of gas production. But it was one of the major sources of gas for continental Europe. 40% of Germany’s annual consumption. The Dutch government has decided to temporarily shut down wells due to the “uncertainty of the geopolitical situation.” Posted by Stanley Reed (Stanley Reed) Contributed by Melissa Eddy (Melissa Eddy)
