Recent events have been a “wake-up call” for the region, which now relies on the US for more than half its LNG supply, Energy Commissioner Dan Jorgensen said Wednesday. The bloc is actively looking at taking more from Canada, Qatar and North African countries, he said. A trade deal last year included a commitment for the EU to buy $750 billion of American energy as the bloc diversified away from Russia. “We are speaking to countries around the world that are able to deliver LNG to us,” Jorgensen told reporters in Brussels. “Several European nations have started long-term deals with US LNG suppliers to move away from Russian energy sources,” said Taylor Rogers, a White House spokeswoman.
