NS2

Subject – IR

Context – Nord Stream 2 (NS2) running from Russia to Germany across the Baltic Sea has been complete.

Concept –

  • The NS2 pipeline runs along the already completed Nord Stream 1 system, and the two together will supply an aggregate of 110 billion cubic metres of gas to Germany per year.
  • NS2’s manufacture began in 2016 and construction in 2018.
  • The 1,224 km, $11-billion underwater link is the shortest, most economical and environment-friendly route to double Russia’s gas export to Germany.
  • The pipeline falls in German and Danish territory.
  • This would take the Russian gas to Europe via Germany, under the Baltic Sea.
  • The pipeline offers stability to the strategically important energy trade because Russia’s dependence on the European Union and vice-versa are increased and this should promote realism.
