Short summary
After Russia's 2022 invasion of Ukraine, Europe's energy dynamics shifted significantly. Our study introduces updated datasets tracking changes in natural gas supply, usage, and transmission within the EU27&UK. We discovered that Europe adapted to losing Russian gas by increasing LNG (liquefied natural gas) imports and shifting to renewables. Our insights could shape future energy policies and climate research.
