Winter Is Coming For European Gas

Winter Is Coming For European Gas

27 April 2022, Brandenburg, Mallnow: The Mallnow natural gas compressor station of Gascade ... [+] Gastransport GmbH (aerial photograph taken by drone). The compressor station in Mallnow near the German-Polish border mainly receives Russian natural gas. From its source to its point of use, the natural gas travels several thousand kilometers in the Yamal pipeline. Such compressor stations are necessary to maintain a constant pressure for transport in the pipeline. From here, Russian gas flows through the JAGAL (Yamal Gas Link Pipeline) into the German natural gas pipeline network to the west. In addition, gas can be transported - against the main direction of flow - from Germany to Poland. Photo: Patrick Pleul/dpa-Zentralbild/ZB (Photo by Patrick Pleul/picture alliance via Getty Images)
