“Thanks to Nord Stream 2, there will be many competitive energy suppliers on the market. I do not see anything scary about the Americans wanting to increase the supply of liquefied natural gas (LNG). However, when liquefying natural gas and then returning it to its original state, carbon dioxide (CO2) added. Moreover, it is simply that American LNG is more expensive than Russian natural gas" - the head of BASF stated.

According to him, Europeans should not accept the United States trying to decide the fate of projects such as Nord Stream 2.

Mr. Brudermüller expressed hope that in this matter, common sense will prevail and Washington will not impose sanctions against European companies participating in the construction of the gas pipeline.

At the same time, the head of BASF noted that, in the long-term perspective, Russia is an important geo-strategic partner of the EU and reminded that Europe has been cooperating with Russia's Gazprom for many decades with complete trust.

“When it got cold in Europe and residents needed a lot of gas, it was the Russians who turned on the supply valve in time,” the head of the German corporation emphasized.
