Russia is the most important trading partner of the EU for imports of natural gas, oil and hard coal. This SE article presents the EU’s energy supply exposure to the imports from Russia.
Full article
Natural gas
The reliance of the European Union on Russian natural gas has increased over the last decade. Natural gas consumption in the EU remained broadly flat over this period, but production fell by a third and the gap has been filled by increased imports. On average, the EU relies on Russia for XX% of its natural gas imports.
Oil
Russia is the world’s third largest oil producer after the United States of America and Saudi Arabia. Russia is the world’s largest exporter of oil (crude oil + petroleum products). On average, the EU relies on Russia for XX% of its oil imports.
Glossary, concepts and methodology notes
Oil includes primary oils (e.g. as crude oil, natural gas liquids, additives and oxygenates) and petroleum products (e.g. motor gasoline, automotive diesel, naphtha, fuel oil, kerosene). Natural gas includes gaseous natural gas (mostly imported by pipelines) and liquefied natural gas (also known as LNG and mostly imported in large ships that is re-gasified before injection into the grid. Hard coal is the coal with higher heating value such as anthracite, coking coal and other bituminous coal.
