Israel will be able to put about 10 percent of the gas in the European Union that Europe received from Russia in 2021, said Israeli Prime Minister Yair Lapid at a meeting on Monday, September 12, in Berlin with Chancellor of Germany Olaf Sholtsa, writes Deutsche Welle.
“We are going to take part in efforts to replace Russian gas in Europe,” Lapid noted after the meeting.
Scholz, in turn, indicated that Germany is working on the creation of infrastructure, which will allow you to receive raw materials from new partners as it refuses Russian supplies.
In turn, in Azerbaijan they said that by the end of the year they plan to put in the EU 30 percent more natural gas than in 2021. “The total supply of supplies to Europe in 2022 will amount to 12 billion cubic meters,” Parviz Shakhbazov, Minister of Energy of Azerbaijan, wrote on Twitter. By August, production increased by almost 10 percent and amounted to 30.6 billion cubic meters, he added.
Brussels in July agreed with Baku on doubling the import of gas from Azerbaijan in the coming years, recalls the German edition. There are also plans to expand the gas corridor, which passes through Azerbaijan, Georgia, Turkey and Greece. The power of the pipeline is planned to increase to 20 billion cubic meters per year.
