    Fatih Birol, executive director of the International Energy Agency, said on the 12th that the EU may face a shortage of about 27 billion cubic meters of natural gas in 2023, accounting for about 6.
    8%
    of the total EU natural gas benchmark demand.

    The International Energy Agency held an offline launch of the report "How the EU can avoid gas shortages in 2023" in Brussels on the same day
    .
    Birol said at a joint press conference with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen that the unusually mild weather in early winter in Europe is not sure to continue, Russian gas supplies may decline further, and global liquefied natural gas supplies are expected to be tight
    .
    These three scenarios add up and the EU may have problems
    .

    According to the report, the IEA proposes a series of practical short-term measures, such as building renovation, the use of LED lights for street lights, etc.
    , to improve energy efficiency
    .

    Birol said that energy security has overtaken ecological issues to become the main driving force behind the EU's
    deployment of renewable energy.

    Von der Leyen said that in 2023 the EU will increase its efforts to buy liquefied natural gas, implement a joint procurement mechanism and expand and accelerate the deployment of renewable energy to cope with energy shortages
