The EU is working to reduce annual fossil gas consumption by 30%, equivalent to 100 billion cubic meters (bcm), by 2030.
However, the U.S. believes that a 65-70 bcm reduction is more realistic.
The concerned U.S. departments see no near-term prospect for gas from Qatar, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Algeria, Libya or Egypt to substantially help alleviate the dependence of the EU on Russian gas supplies.
Why are the above-mentioned Arab countries not able to meet EU gas needs?
What options are left for the EU in the short term to get the needed gas supply?
Tactical Report has prepared a 677-word report to answer these questions and more.
