Europa e într-o cursă contracronometru ca să-și umple depozitele cu gaze pentru iarnă. SUA deviază transporturile spre Asia

Europe's energy security is threatened again as natural gas prices rise due to the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. The continent is racing to fill gas storage before winter, but with LNG exports diverted to Asia, achieving the 90% target seems nearly impossible. Analysts predict that gas supply will become increasingly challenging due to ongoing conflicts and reduced imports. The European Commission has allowed member states to fill storage below 90% to mitigate panic buying. Current storage levels are significantly lower than previous years, raising concerns about potential price increases this winter. Europe faces competition from Asia for LNG, which may lead to higher energy costs.
