U.S. liquefied natural gas end of Russian stranglehold
Europe will be the largest purchaser of American LNG
15 May, 13:02China announced Monday that it planned to increase its tariffs on liquefied natural gas from the U.S. to 25% as the trade war between the two nations intensified. Maros Sefcovic, European Commission's Vice-President for the Energy Union, said that EU countries area already importing 450 million cubic meters of LNG from the US, approximately 35% of the total US export of liquified natural gas, and they will be soon able to import more. Sefcovic noted that LNG terminals are in construction in Croatia and Greece and those already built in Lithuania and Poland are being expanded. Sefcovic added that a new one could be built in Germany. (ANSA-AP).
