Abstract

The European Union faces significant challenges regarding natural resources and raw materials that are vital for its industry and infrastructure. For decades, the EU has imported natural gas from Russia. In 2022, Russia’s attack on Ukraine highlighted the EU’s dependence on Russian natural gas. Following the start of the war, an energy crisis began in Europe. Russia used gas as a tool to pursue its geopolitical interests. The EU’s response to this emergency was quite swift: to compensate for the gas shortage, it became a priority for the EU to add facilities to import liquefied natural gas by sea from other countries. However, despite these steps, challenges remain in diversifying natural gas supplies and developing an energy sustainability policy.
