>Sino-Russian Energy Cooperation and Its Implications for the EU
◾Recommendations for the EU

1. Diversification of the LNG Portfolio
•Deepen cooperation with reliable suppliers (US, Qatar, Norway, Algeria).
•Avoid excessive long-term contracts that may become financially unviable if prices fall.

2. Investment in Infrastructure and Storage
•Expand LNG terminals and storage facilities to capitalise on the upcoming period of low prices.
•Develop joint purchasing and reserve mechanisms at the EU level.

3. Green Transition as a Strategic Response
•Use the “window of cheap energy” to accelerate investments in renewables and hydrogen.
•Reduce the risk of a new “gas trap” in the 2030s–40s.

4. Geopolitical Coordination
•Actively participate in transatlantic consultations on sanctions against Russian projects (e.g., Arctic LNG II).
•Coordinate positions with Global South countries, which are becoming key arenas for Russian and Chinese influence.
