This thesis examines the consequences of the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022 on the EU's gas
diversification. It uses the existing secondary sources to read the statistics and policies to derive results about the impact of the war on the gas sector. The thesis uses both qualitative and
quantitative data. The quantitative data comes from the Eurostat database and the International
Energy Agency, while qualitative data is obtained from official publications of EU bodies,
academic research articles, and online journals. Given the current industrial capacity of the primary
gas exporting states, their contractual responsibilities, and their growth objectives, the
REPowerEU's short-term goal of reducing historically massive gas imports from Russia by two-thirds in 2022 seems impossible. North Sea gas output has been falling since the early 2000s.
Domestic demand or infrastructural limitations limit exports from Mediterranean nations to
high-demand regions of the EU. Long-term supply contracts prevent the leading LNG exporting
countries outside of Europe, especially Qatar but also the United States and Australia, from delivering
all the required volumes in the near term
