EU burns through gas storage at fastest rate since energy crisis

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

57% : The US is the largest supplier of LNG to the EU, and Qatar the third largest.
56% : The EU is emptying its gas storage facilities at the fastest pace since the energy crisis three years ago as colder weather and a decline in seaborne imports raise demand.
48% : EU countries need to fill their storage to 90 per cent of capacity by the start of November under the European Commission's mandatory refilling target, although some countries have lower targets.
21% : US president-elect Donald Trump has warned the EU that it must commit to buying "large scale" amounts of US oil and gas or face tariffs, while Qatar has threatened to stop its LNG shipments if member states strictly enforce new legislation that will penalise companies which fail to meet set criteria on carbon emissions, human and labour rights.
