Food & Water Action Europe, together with 18 other groups, has endorsed an unbranded visual guide exposing the flawed economics of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG).
The guide highlights why depending on LNG—a highly polluting and volatile fossil fuel—to power industry, heat homes, and cook meals is both an economic and environmental risk.
Following the EU’s efforts to reduce reliance on Russian gas, the region now faces a potential oversupply of LNG, increasing the risk of stranded assets and prolonged dependence on unstable foreign sources like U.S. LNG, which negatively impacts frontline communities and accelerates climate change.
The EU’s current plans to increase LNG imports—by supporting overseas export projects, particularly in the US, and committing to long-term contracts inspired by “Japanese model“—risks saddling consumers with higher energy costs and environmental damage.
Meanwhile, real solutions exist: It’s crucial to stop new LNG investments and accelerate the shift to clean, community-based solutions by investing in renewables, energy efficiency, and savings.
