  • To diversify the gas supply and reduce dependency on Russian imports, the Austrian government closed a deal with the United Arab Emirates (UAE) for an amount of gas similar to what Germany receives.
  • The deal was closed following Chancellor Karl Nehammer’s trip to Abu Dhabi together with his energy and finance ministers.
  • Germany also attempted to strike a deal with the UAE to ensure Russian gas is replaced with LNG.
