Russian liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports increased by 2.7% in the first half of the year, reaching 16.79 million metric tons, according to Kommersant, as quoted by Reuters. However, future export volumes are expected to decline due to potential maintenance at the Sakhalin 2 facility.

Greece's natural gas export potential will be quadrupled by the end of the decade, with new infrastructure projects such as the Alexandroupoli floating liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal, an increase in the capacity of the Trans-Adriatic Pipeline (TAP) and the new Greece-North Macedonia pipeline that is entering the construction phase, Deputy Minister of Environment and Energy Alexandra Sdouk

Gazprom said the gas pipeline to Germany, which was due to open at the weekend, would remain closed until a turbine could be repaired, cutting supplies to Europe indefinitely.

Europe's energy crisis loomed larger on Sept. 2 after Russian energy giant Gazprom said it couldn't resume the supply of natural gas through a major pipeline to Germany for now.
