"„Die Wetter-Wette von Katherina Reiche ist nicht aufgegangen“, sagt Michael Kellner, energiepolitischer Sprecher der Grünen und früher Parlamentarischer Staatssekretär im Wirtschaftsministerium. Die Gasspeicher seien „zu früh kritisch leer“, beklagt er. Die Regierung habe Nachfragen sorglos abgewiegelt."

The European Union’s competition chief has warned against relying "too much” on U.S. liquefied natural gas imports as the bloc looks to diversify its energy basket. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/01/28/world/politics/eu-us-gas-russia-phaseout/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #politics #eu #europe #russia #energy #us #oil #lng #gas
Bandiamo il gas russo alla fine del 2027 (ma perché non nel 2041? Dai, c'è tempo), e nel frattempo ci leghiamo al Gas naturale liquefatto degli Stati Uniti.
Scrive ReCommon: «Il Gnl a stelle e strisce potrebbe arrivare a coprire circa il 40% delle importazioni totali di gas».
Ma quanto siamo lungimiranti noi europei? Non ci si crede.

European Union countries on Monday gave their final approval to the bloc's plan to ban Russian gas imports by late 2027, allowing it to pass into law. The policy makes legally-binding the EU's vow to cut ties with its former top gas supplier, nearly four years after Russia's 2022 full-scale invasion of Ukraine. FRANCE 24's Emerald Maxwell reports.

Overlooked #hydrogen #emissions are #heating #Earth and supercharging #methane
New #research shows rising hydrogen emissions since 1990 have indirectly intensified #climatechange and amplified the impact of methane. Limiting #leaks from future hydrogen #fuel projects and cutting methane emissions will be key to securing benefits from hydrogen as a clean-burning #alternative to #oil and #gas.
