Washington's sabotage of the Nord Stream pipeline makes the Trans-Saharan gas pipeline crucial for Europe which now faces uncertainty. EU concern over Niger's leadership now becomes evident.
Interesting. Never heard of it. But it could be that is project will never have been build. Russian gas has been mostly replaced by liquid gas tankers. And the demand of gas is shrinkinhg in Europe.
Thing is that LNG is significantly more expensive and trades on spot markets making prices unpredictable. It's also not possible to ship LNG in same volumes as pipeline gas. Gas in Europe hasn't been so much replaced by LNG as the supply having been reduced leading to the recession and deindustrialization we're now seeing. It's no longer cost effective to do manufacturing in places like Germany, and industry is now shutting down.
