FAQS about Latvia fuel storage system

Does Latvia need liquefied natural gas?

For natural gas, Latvia will become heavily reliant on liquefied natural gas (LNG) supply as well as (soon to be expanded) gas storage. Meanwhile, Latvia will remain fully dependent on oil imports, and will have to manage supply diversification efforts (without Russian supply) accordingly. Latvia 2024 - Analysis and key findings.

Can Latvia import natural gas from Russia?
