Description

This map represents the EU-27’s main natural gas imports flows based on their origin country in 2019. Blue arrows represent LNG flows, the red ones represent pipeline flows.

Analysis

The European Union has adopted a diversification strategy for its natural gas supplies. This strategy is key to reduce its dependency toward exporting countries.

However, Russia and Norway remain Europe’s main suppliers of natural gas, accounting for 32% and 20% of all its imports.
