The EU continues to explore two “major” energy projects with Israel, EC President Ursula von der Leyen said. One is a power cable connecting Israel with Cyprus and Greece. The other is a pipeline for natural gas and hydrogen in the eastern Mediterranean. The EU has reached out to multiple gas producers following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in a bid to secure alternative supplies. Since the EU imported about 40% of its gas from Russia in 2021, it may need to tap numerous sources of the fuel — as well as raise renewables output — to meet demand.
