Germany signs energy partnership with Qatar to distance itself from Russian gas

Germany and Qatar agreed on Friday on an energy partnership that could lead Doha to start supplying liquefied natural gas (LNG) to Berlin in 2024.

Qatar will become key to Germany's future energy strategy to stay away from Russian gas, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said, speaking at a joint news conference with Qatari Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani in Berlin.

"The issue of energy security plays an important role for us. Germany will develop its infrastructure to be able to import liquefied natural gas by ship," Scholz said.

"It is a big step and Qatar plays an important role in our strategy," the German leader added.

Germany has been under pressure from Ukraine and other countries in Europe to make progress in avoiding Russian energy supplies since the beginning of the Russian occupation of Ukraine.
