Europe ups noise on Russian LNG ban while boosting imports

European Union ministers have turned up the volume on talk of axing Russian LNG imports. But at present, the region seems to be upping its LNG intake from Russia rather than reducing it.

In 2022, the EU imported some 15.8m tonnes of LNG from Novatek’s main liquefaction plant Yamal LNG in the Russian Arctic, according to data from shipbroker Fearnleys.
