Currently about half of the gas in Germany comes through pipelines from Norway, the other half is mostly from the the Netherlands and Belgium (which I think import a lot of LNG to ship to Germany).

LNG is mostly imported from Qatar and Russia

Russia - is now (thanks to Germany) one of the top exporters of LNG. With some creative accounting (rewriting labels) of where the oil/gas/lng came from (Russia) -> even India is now a Net exporter of oil.

Please note that LNG is even more environmentally damaging than burning coal.

Australia is a big exporter of LNG...they even need to liquify it to use it themselves (where gas is available is often too far away from where people are to use just pipelines).

How so? How many toxins and heave metals are emitted by burning LNG?
