EU imports 30% of its oil from Russia - 39% of natural gas.

Wearing heated clothing instead of heating the indoors could cut down natural gas consumption by close to 40% - https://www.odyssee-mure.eu/publications/efficiency-by-secto....

Close to 4% of natural gas is used for cooking and heating water - which the EU could easily replace with electric using a subsidy (well worth it regardless).

The EU consumed ~379B cubic feet of natural gas in 2021. Shutting down just the German nuclear reactors is the equivalent of ~14B cubic feet = ~4% of natural gas consumption for the entire EU.

Gasoline consumption for personal (passenger) vehicles and flights uses more than 30% of the EU's oil consumption: https://www.google.com/amp/s/theconversation.com/amp/how-ele...

OPEC could easily pump enough oil, and the US & Canada ship enough LNG to replace 10% (or more) of the missing oil and gas.

It would be a major inconvenience - not an apocalypse, definitely not starvation. The EU is rich.

1 shipment from Mozah LNG carrier could supply 0.055% of all Europe's natural gas needs for the year. There are 15 similar ships.

Round trip from US / Canada is less than 1 month.

(.163922÷.73×15×365÷24)÷379 = ~13.5% of Europe's natural gas consumption.

Mozah carrier 163,922 tons LNG.

1B cubic meters of NG = .73M tons LNG.

EU used 379B tons of NG in 2021.

Round trip from Germany to Canada with loading and unloading is ~24 days.

Realistically, it would probably make most sense to ship from the gulf for the US. So the travel time would be longer.

It takes 3+ years to build a container ship. There are 12 under construction in China right now - these all carry about 40% more than Mozah.
