Europe steps up energy security amid sabotage allegations

Al Jazeera  

Major leaks from Nord Stream gas pipelines off the coasts of Denmark and Sweden have been blamed on sabotage. Russia’s Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2 pipelines burst this week, draining huge volumes of gas into the Baltic Sea off the coast of Denmark and Sweden. Trading blame Putin has denied sabotaging the Nord Stream 1 and 2 pipelines, blaming instead the “Anglo-Saxons” in the West for what he described as an attempt to “destroy the European energy infrastructure”. In a letter to the UN, the two Scandinavian countries said the blasts that rocked the Baltic Sea before the huge methane leaks “probably corresponded to an explosive load of several hundred kilos”. The Integrated Carbon Observation System, a European research alliance, said “an enormous amount of methane gas has been released into the atmosphere,” adding it corresponds to the size of a whole year’s methane emissions for a city the size of Paris or a country like Denmark.
