“Nordstream” Returned to Nothingness

Spain and Italy are discussing the possibility of building a gas pipeline as part of Europe's plans to abandon Russian gas

This was stated by Italian prime minister Mario Draghi after talks with his Spanish counterpart.

"Southern Mediterranean countries now understand that they can be very important centers for gas today, and especially for hydrogen tomorrow," said Draghi, adding that 30-40% of Russia's reserves can be replaced immediately, the rest will be much more difficult.

"The EU Commission is studying the possibility of building a gas pipeline," he said.

Spain has the largest regasification capacity in Europe, but transporting gas to Europe via the Pyrenees has been a problem due to bottlenecks.

"The countries of the Southern Mediterranean in Europe now understand that they can be very important hubs for gas today, but also, above all, for hydrogen tomorrow," Draghi said.
