Clean energy lowers Europe's fossil fuel costs
Europe has experienced a decline in liquefied natural gas (LNG) imports since the beginning of the war in the Middle East 100 days ago, despite global disruptions in the energy market. Some countries, such as the United Kingdom, saw a reduction of 20%, while Germany, Italy, and Belgium increased their reliance on LNG, with Germany's imports rising by 72% between March and May 2026. This reflects a gradual shift in European energy policy, which has begun to reduce dependence on LNG imports, even as the European Union continues to rely on the United States and Russia as major suppliers. Clean energy sources, such as solar power and heat pumps, have contributed to mitigating the impact of the energy crisis, but they still face challenges in achieving climate transition goals.
