Since the turn of the century, the production of natural gas in the European Union has seen a significant decline. In 2000, approximately 243 billion cubic meters were produced, but by 2019 this had fallen by more than half to 101 billion cubic meters. Until here, the United Kingdom was the EU’s main natural gas producing country. In 2020, the EU natural gas production, excluding the UK, amounted to around 48 billion cubic meters.
