More Danish gas?
The initiative is just one element in the government’s Denmark can do more 2 ‘proposal, which the Prime Minister said will be presented after the Easter holidays.
Other elements in the proposal will include building more sustainable energy sources – and making it faster – exporting green technology to promote efficient energy use and to investigate the possibility of Denmark increasing its own production of natural gas.
“I think we and a number of other European countries would rather use Danish gas than buy it from Putin in the coming years,” said Frederiksen.
But, said the Prime Minister, Denmark’s agreement to stop oil and gas production in the North Sea in 2050 will still hold.
Currently, the EU imports about 40 percent of its natural gas from Russia.
