Large cargos of propane are leaving the USA for Germany, where it is being used by industry, particularly for metal heat treating.
German industry used to use Russian natural gas.
Germany/Holland is floating into place LNG re-gasification ships at harbors, and building on shore re-gasification plants.
At the same time Holland has closed down a HUGE natural gas field within their borders that still can flow HUGE volumes,
because less than 100 families that farm the land above it complain about ground settlement.
This at the same time Holland government wants to prohibit other farmers from raising cattle, pigs, chickens because of NOx gas emissions from manure.
when the poop hit the fan and the russians invaded,most europeans stopped importing from russia- but most had some storage facilities .... germany had zero.... all they had was the pipelines... very poor planning on their part.. luckily there seems to be enough regas ships, so they should be ok - and they r importing gas from lots of places, not just the u.s.
