Imports of pipeline gas to the EU dipped 9% year on year in the first half of 2025, following halting of Russian gas transit via Ukraine at the beginning of the year, according to a recent analysis, but the bloc has increased its reliance on liquefied natural gas (LNG).
The uptake of energy efficient appliances and the growth of renewables contributed to cut the bloc’s gas consumption in recent years, according to the updated EU Gas Flows Tracker from the Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis (IEEFA).
