Liquefied natural gas (LNG) supplied 45% of the European Union’s gas imports in 2025, highlighting the bloc’s continued shift away from pipeline gas, according to the European Commission’s latest gas market report.
The EU imported 131 billion cubic meters (BCM) of LNG last year, with the United States remaining the largest supplier, providing 76 BCM, or nearly 58% of total LNG imports.
Russia ranked second with 18 BCM, followed by Qatar with 11 BCM. Algeria and Nigeria each supplied about 7 BCM.
The report said the EU expanded its LNG regasification capacity by 8% to nearly 215 BCM in 2025, supported by new infrastructure in Belgium, Germany, Italy and Poland.
Spain, France, Italy and the Netherlands remained the bloc’s largest LNG import hubs.
