Natural gas import dependency in the EU 1990-2020
The European Union's dependency on natural gas imports has generally increased over the last three decades. In 2020, around 84 percent of the natural gas in the EU came from imports, down from 90 percent one year earlier. Back in 1990, the European Union only imported roughly 52 percent of the natural gas it consumed. Southern Europe is particularly dependent on natural gas supply from foreign sources.
