The US offers Europe to build a gas pipeline from Spain to France, which would become an alternative to gas supplies from Russia. Fuel tanks in Spain should come to the rescue – a lot of liquefied gas from America is stored there. About it writes La Vanguardia newspaper.
Washington is trying to create a coalition of American liquefied gas exporters in Europe in order to reduce the dependence of Central European countries, especially Germany, on supplies from Russia. The United States once again offered the Germans to freeze Nord Stream 2 in favor of an alternative project.
As an alternative, the Americans came up with the idea of building a gas pipeline from Spanish Catalonia to France, from where liquefied gas would be supplied to the countries of Central Europe. In Spain, there are currently seven terminals for the storage of liquefied gas and there is an opportunity to increase the capacity for regasification (the conversion of liquefied gas into natural gas – approx. “Tapes.ru”). The project is planned to be discussed at the NATO General Assembly in June.

It is reported that Germany is seriously considering this proposal, as it is interested in the diversification of supplies and the availability of pipeline infrastructure from the Iberian Peninsula. This ties in with German plans to start production of green hydrogen in North Africa, which can also be transported through the proposed gas pipeline.
Earlier, representatives of the Federal Network Agency of Germany reported that they still have not been provided with all the necessary documents for the certification of Nord Stream 2. The legal problems of the Russian gas pipeline began in November 2021.
