Here's why Australia is offering LNG to Europe amid fears of Russian invasion of Ukraine

"This is just politically motivated chatter, which has no basis whatsoever," he said in October last year.

The United States has offered reassurances that it will help its European allies find alternative supplies.Governments can declare a gas emergency and shut off industrial customers to spare households, hurting the economy but sparing a humanitarian and political disaster.Yet the system has never been tested, and there are questions about how willing countries would be to share gas in a crisis.

LNG is sold worldwide to companies operating in countries looking to diversify energy sources away from coal, and Australia is one of the world's largest producers and exporters.

Australia should not be fracking and should not be exporting gas to support overconsumption / overdevelopment.

The article’s heading is all wrong to start with …how can Australian govt offer LNG when it doesn’t own it. It would have to buy it at market price and then offer it, as if that is likely to happen. Utter shite article, misleading

So it's not the Gov't offering - it's the Gas Companies and the Gov't is riding the coattails for the glory.

because europe needs a war $$$$

“Australia” ie the international LNG frackmeisters have “offered” to export more methane to Europe in light of Ukraine tensions. Because they are trying to steal Gazprom’s market for pipeline gas v”

Like all LNG plants in Aus, Inpex doesnt have spare capacity, they are waiting for Barossa to come on line. I think the Federal Gov are making things up again and making promises they cant fulfil so they can be the saviour they think they are. AusPol2022

Aus doesnt produce LNG, Japanese Gov (Inpex), Santos/Kuwait (Gladstone), Chevron (Wheatstone) produce LNG and pay Aus a pittance. Buy it on open market? There's no capacity to be sold, it all goes to owners of processing plants because they built them. Not Aus Gov. AusPol2022

'Low gas supplies'. That's called peak gas AngusTaylorMP DanTehanWannon keithjpitt That will happen in Australia, too. The more LNG exports, the earlier it will come. tony_r_wood, AlanKohler latingle kirby_journo

Let's talk about everything except how this situation came about. auspol Ukraine

That's a pipeline I'd like to see

At the end of the day, making money is the fundamental reason.

Does no one think of world peace at this time?

Distraction 301: Trinkets & Baubels... Go read Fauci's emails which were outed last week - then you may view this somewhat differently...

Honestly can't believe Europeans would allow themselves to be beholden to Russia for essentials like fuel. Putin is a proven psychopath in my view.

Excellent. Europe can pressure demented kleptocrat warmonger Putin to back off knowing they will have a regular supply of gas. All Russia produces is fossil fuels and war machines so it will be a big punch to the guts.

Another brain fart. Its 6 weeks sailing once you get ships. Then the logistics of ship to shore. There's going to be lots of cold people. for oh 3 months

🤣 we are importing gas

I can’t wait to read a thorough in-depth analysis on US hegemony. Is this one written by a lobbyist for the weapons manufacturers or just an oil company? These fears are a little loose aren’t they? Does anyone know where Kharkiv is?

Sorry not offering they are doing business make hay while sunshines

Because their China and Japan nat gas orders fell.
