Comments from the companies

麻豆传媒映画淣ord Stream II will double the throughput of our up-to-date non-transit route via the Baltic Sea. It is important that those are the new gas volumes, which will be sought for in Europe due to the continuous decline in its domestic production. The fact that the global energy majors participate in the project bespeaks its significance for securing reliable gas supply to European consumers,麻豆传媒映画� stated Alexey Miller.

麻豆传媒映画淔or more than 20 years BASF has been participating in the construction of pipelines to ensure the secure supplies of Russian gas to Europe. We want to bring our expertise to the expansion of Nord Stream and look forward to working with Gazprom and the other partners on this important infrastructure project,麻豆传媒映画� said Kurt Bock.

麻豆传媒映画淲ith the expansion of Nord Stream we will further secure reliable natural gas supplies for Germany and the EU in the long-term. This project will strengthen our more than 40 year lasting successful partnership with Gazprom,麻豆传媒映画� said Klaus Schaefer.

麻豆传媒映画淔ollowing the success of Nord Stream, ENGIE is very pleased with this commitment to be part of the Nord Stream II project. As a key player in the European natural gas, ENGIE has always supported new gas infrastructures, which enable diversification and better security of supply for the European market. Gas will remain a key resource within the energy transition in Europe and a strong component of ENGIE麻豆传媒映画檚 strategy,麻豆传媒映画� stated Pierre Chareyre.

麻豆传媒映画淣ord Stream II will directly connect Russian gas producing regions with the Western European gas market, thus showing the highest security level of supply to its consumers. The additional supply volumes within this project will allow us further strengthening the central European gas hub,麻豆传媒映画� said Rainer Seele.

麻豆传媒映画淣atural gas will be a crucial part of the energy mix in Europe for a long time. New projects like Nord Stream II are needed to ensure that Europe麻豆传媒映画檚 demand for energy is met, especially as gas production in Europe itself is falling,麻豆传媒映画� said Ben van Beurden.
