Lack of export options poses a major challenge to Russian gas

In the run-up to COP28, Russia called natural gas a ‘transitional fuel’ that could be used to reduce emissions.

While Russia can sell extra gas to Central Asia and use more domestically in the coming years, the volumes will be modest compared to those previously supplied to Europe. Longer-term ambitions for greater deliveries to China and Turkey, and as LNG, will be difficult to realise, reports Tim Crawford.
