  1. The United States remained Europe’s top supplier of liquefied natural gas (LNG) in the first 3 months of 2021 as it continued to gain market share at the expense of Russia and Qatar, Europe’s second- and third-largest sources of LNG, according to the EU Commission’s latest European Gas Market Report. The US supplied 24% (4.2 Bcm) of the EU’s overall LNG imports (17 Bcm in Q1 2021); Russia placed second at 21% (3.7 Bcm); and Qatar was third at 18% (3.1 Bcm), the EU Commission reported in early July. When compared to Q4 2020, the US picked up 2% market share from January to March this year, while Russia bested Qatar to become Europe’s second-largest LNG supplier. Nigeria placed fourth, followed by Algeria and Trinidad and Tobago. A review of EU Commission reports dating back to 2019 reveals a steady quarter-to-quarter decline in Europe’s LNG purchases while it also documents the growing rivalry between the US and Russia, Qatar’s fall from dominance, and the emergence of the US as Europe’s top LNG supplier starting Q4 2019. The EU is the world’s third-largest LNG market, though its imports amounted to only about half that of Japan (36 Bcm) and China (32 Bcm) in Q1 2021. European gas consumption rose 7.6% to 132 Bcm in Q1 based on a year-on-year comparison. The commission noted that demand for gas as fuel to generate electricity rose 3.4%, also year-on-year (increasing by 4.9 TWh.)

  2. The US banned Russian gas and oil imports on the 8th of March 2022. Russian imports are about 3%.

  3. On March 8, President Biden signed an Executive Order to ban the import of Russian oil, liquefied natural gas, and coal to the United States. This is a significant action that will further deprive President Putin of the economic resources he uses to continue his barbaric war of choice against Ukraine. This order does not prohibit dealing in Kazakhstani crude oil of the Caspian Pipeline Consortium (“CPC”) because distribution systems such as those within the CPC can segregate various sources of crude oil, allowing crude oil that is not of Russian Federation origin to be marked and loaded separately. The import ban applies to the import of certain products of Russian Federation origin to the United States and excludes imports that are not of Russian Federation origin, even if such items transit through or depart from the Russian Federation.

  9. From Reuters, March 17, 2022 CF Industries boosts U.S. fertilizer shipments as war cuts Russian exports CHICAGO, March 16 (Reuters) - CF Industries Holdings (CF.N) is increasing fertilizer shipments to both U.S. coasts from the world's largest nitrogen complex in Louisiana to help offset a decline in exports from Russia after it invaded Ukraine, Chief Executive Tony Will said. Illinois-based CF Industries leased several vessels to transport more fertilizer, mostly liquid nitrogen, from its complex in Donaldsonville, Louisiana, Will told Reuters. The company can ship products up the Mississippi River to the Midwest and load vessels to sail downriver through the Gulf of Mexico to tanks on either coast. "Historically a fair bit of Russian imports have come particularly to the East Coast, and we're trying to make up for that lack of availability by moving our tons over there," Will said. Russia has previously accounted for 15% of U.S. nitrogen imports, said the Fertilizer Institute, an industry group. CF Industries has five U.S. nitrogen manufacturing complexes, along with plants in Canada and the United Kingdom. The company's ability to increase production is limited because it tries to operate plants at their maximum rate all year, Will said.

  16.  @khrao7786  Latvia, Estonia, and Lithuania have stopped importing Russian gas as part of European efforts to curb reliance on Russian energy. Latvia says the Baltic states are no longer importing Russian natural gas, as European nations try to wean themselves off Russian energy sources in the wake of the Ukraine war. Don't stereotype.

  17. From the UK government, The UK is not dependent on Russian natural gas, making up less than 4% of our supply. Ministers are also exploring options to reduce this further. The Prime Minister confirmed that the government will set out an energy strategy to set out the UK’s long term plans for greater energy security, including both renewable and domestic oil and gas supplies.

  28.  @ferry602  Before Euromaidan, Russia has successfully used political and economic leverage to dissuade Ukraine from signing the E.U. deal. In the months prior to the Vilnius summit, Russian President Vladimir Putin engaged in a trade war with Kyiv, blocking nearly all imports from Ukraine and cutting energy supplies to the country. In turn, this reduced Ukrainian exports by 25 percent and shrank the economy by 1.5 percent.
