6 FAQs about [Ukrainian energy storage]
Does Ukraine's gas storage offer a greater energy security?
In the search for greater energy security, EU officials and individual member states should explore the opportunities presented by Ukrainian gas storage. Ukraine’s underground gas storage facilities are the largest in Europe and offer extensive untapped potential.
How big is Ukraine's gas storage facility?
Constructed during the Soviet era as part of the infrastructure to support Russian gas deliveries to European markets, Ukraine’s gas storage facilities have an overall capacity of 31 billion cubic meters.
How much natural gas is stored in Ukraine?
The company aims to increase European natural gas stored in Ukraine from 2.5bn cubic metres last year to 4bn this winter. Ukraine has also continued to allow Russian gas to pass through the country under a deal Naftogaz signed with Russia’s Gazprom in 2019.
What happened to gas storage sites in Ukraine?
Naftogaz said gas storage sites in western Ukraine had come under attack several times in recent months, but only above-ground facilities had been damaged. Underground storage tanks, which may be as deep as 3km beneath the surface, had remained unaffected, it said.
How many cubic meters of gas can Ukraine Transport per day?
Today, Ukraine has the potential to distribute up to 200 million cubic meters of gas per day to EU markets. The real logistical challenge lies in the limited capacity to transport large volumes of gas in the other direction from the EU to Ukraine’s storage facilities. Present capacity provided by Slovakia, Hungary, and Poland is inadequate.
Will storage facilities in Ukraine increase the EU's storage capacity?
A significant contribution may be offered by storage facilities in Ukraine. Utilising this capacity would increase the EU’s storage capacity by about 10 percent. Figure 1 shows that at current import levels, with demand 15 percent below the five-year average, the EU will reach maximum storage already in September.
