Russian gas is not transported to the European Union via the Southern Gas Corridor.

Axar.az reports that Tim McPhee, the European Commission’s representative for climate and energy issues, made this statement in response to claims regarding the supply of Russian gas to Baku.

"The Southern Gas Corridor, which provides supplies to the EU markets, is connected only to Azerbaijan's gas fields and is not integrated into the country's broader national gas system. So therefore, Russian gas is not exported to the European Union through the Southern Gas Corridor.

According to our information, in the last two years, Azerbaijan has imported less than 1 billion cubic meters of gas per year from Russia for domestic consumption. However, the total gas export of Azerbaijan is about 24 billion cubic meters, of which about half is sent to EU markets. As I said, our overall objective on diversifying away from Russian gas is very clear, and answer on the origin of the gas imported from Azerbaijan is also very clear."
