According to a report by TASS news agency, which was based on data from the European Network of Gas Transmission System Operators (Entsog), this increase represents up to 8.3 billion cubic meters year-on-year.
Previously, according to Entsog, it was reported that supplies via the TurkStream pipeline to Europe in 2024 increased by 23 percent to 16.7 billion cubic meters; of this volume, a record 8.6 billion cubic meters were destined for Hungary.
Total Russian pipeline gas exports to Europe in 2024 increased by 14 percent year-on-year to 32.1 billion cubic meters.
The TurkStream pipeline runs from Russia to Turkey across the Black Sea and has a capacity of 31.5 billion cubic meters.
The infrastructure is designed to supply gas to Turkey and the countries of southern and southeastern Europe, and today it remains as the last active route for Russian gas supplies to the European continent following the disruption of transit through Ukraine.
Russia also increased gas supplies to Turkey by 2.6 percent, to just over 21 billion cubic meters by the end of 2024. Russia supplies gas to Turkey through two pipelines that cross the Black Sea: Blue Stream and Turkish Stream.
