Ditte Juul Jørgensen, the European Commission's Director-General for Energy, spoke to @AtlanticCouncilUS about Europe’s progress and future outlook for diversifying and decarbonizing its energy supply—including efforts to reduce dependence on Russia's energy.

"Before the Russian invasion, we were dependent on Russia for about 45% of our total gas consumption...that has been essentially taken out of the market," she said. "We have replaced most of that Russian gas with LNG, primarily from the US. The US has become by far our largest supplier of LNG."
