Europe’s Energy Lifelines: Securing Corridors

The provided sources analyze Europe's evolving energy security strategies in response to recent geopolitical shifts, particularly the sabotage of the Nord Stream pipelines. They highlight Europe's accelerated pivot away from Russian fossil fuels towards diversified global energy supplies, primarily through Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) and new pipeline corridors, despite the significant economic costs and potential for new dependencies on alternative suppliers and clean energy technology supply chains. The sources detail the multi-layered framework for infrastructure protection, integrating physical security, cyber resilience, and enhanced surveillance, with NATO assuming a more prominent role. Finally, they examine how individual Member States' unique energy policies create divergent approaches within the EU's collective security efforts, presenting scenarios and recommendations for a resilient and sustainable energy future.
