What are the Nord Stream Pipelines?

The ‘Nord Stream’ is a network of offshore natural gas pipelines in Europe, running under the Baltic Sea from Russia to Germany. Natural gas is crucial to European power and heating needs, and Russia accounted for two-fifths of their supply before the start of the war in Ukraine.

Gas flows from Nord Stream 1, which opened in 2011, were indefinitely shut off in early September 2022. Gazprom, the Russian state-owned company which operates the pipelines, said this was due to EU sanctions impacting maintenance, while EU officials accused Russia of weaponizing energy due to their support of Ukraine. Meanwhile, Nord Stream 2, which was completed in 2021, never started pumping gas due to US sanctions in response to the war.

3 out of the 4 Nord Stream pipes were sabotaged by an unknown actor in late September 2022. Given Russian-European tensions and the EU’s seeming determination to wean itself off Russian fossil fuels, it is unlikely that the pipelines will be back online any time soon.
