“For all of us it is also clear: the era of fossil fuels is coming to an end, this means for all of us a change in industrial processes,” RIA Novosti quotes Scholz’s speech.
At the same time, the German Chancellor thanked the Prime Minister of Norway for the supply of gas to Germany after the severing of trade ties with Russia, as well as for the development of new fields.
Previously, Austrian Energy Minister Leonore Gewessler presented a bill that provides for a complete phase-out of Russian gas by 2028. Gas suppliers will have to provide evidence that each year they increase the proportion of fuel purchased outside Russia. By 2028, the share of non-Russian gas in the country should reach 100%.
