European gas imports @bruegel.bsky.social 📊March LNG+Q1 2025 data by source •Q1 2025: NO top EU supplier; US at record high; RU at lowest •March LNG: record imports driven by highest-ever US LNG •April weekly LNG: remains above seasonal levels •Storage: EU 35%, UA 3% www.bruegel.org/dataset/euro...

Maybe we should not call it a "European Liberation Day", but substantial EU import tariffs on Russian gas could prevent Russia from sowing division and gaining political leverage.

With @tagliapietra.bsky.social and @gzachmann.bsky.social at @bruegel.bsky.social we argue that Europe urgently needs a common strategy on Russian gas. An uncoordinated approach threatens the EU's energy security and hinders the green transition. Key insights below⬇️ www.bruegel.org/analysis/eur...

⛽ Europe urgently needs a common strategy on Russian gas Could tariffs counter the risk of Russia using (the prospect of) selective gas supplies to fuel discord in Europe? 🔗 Analysis by @keliauskaite.bsky.social @tagliapietra.bsky.social and @gzachmann.bsky.social : buff.ly/yXH8DXG #EconSky

New study estimates annual investment needs to decarbonize the EU's building stock. Germany alone will need to invest €42 bn per year. Study prepared by @keliauskaite.bsky.social, @bmcwilliams.bsky.social, @gsgaravatti.bsky.social and @tagliapietra.bsky.social from @bruegel.bsky.social 🔌💡 1/2

💡 Europe's energy challenge: 98% of natural gas is imported—much as LNG—costing 5x more than domestic US gas. This dependency drives high electricity prices, with fossil fuels still central to the power mix. To make energy affordable, Europe must decarbonise. Here's four ways to reduce prices: 🧵

Bruegel EU natural gas tracker: -gas storage at 85%, below 2022/23 levels -record gas withdraws are driven by colder start of winter + low wind speed -Nov LNG imports at the highest monthly level since May, driven by Americas (47% of EU LNG imports) and Russia (18%) www.bruegel.org/dataset/euro...
