German Chancellor Olaf Scholz halted the Nord Stream 2 pipeline operation as a "reprimand" against Russia, which had just sent troops into Ukraine (February 22nd).

Historically, the halted Nord Stream 2 is a continuation of the Nord Stream project.

The first Nord Stream pipeline was inaugurated on November 8, 2011, and has been operational since at least 2013, with a natural gas transmission capacity of 55 billion cubic meters (bcm) per year.

Nord Stream 2, meanwhile, began construction in 2018 and was completed at the end of 2021.

Nord Stream 2 was projected to double Russia's gas transmission capacity to the European Union to 110 bcm per year. However, its operation is currently suspended due to the escalating geopolitical situation.

Nord Stream 1 Transmission Capacity

From its initial operation until the end of 2021, Nord Stream 1 had transmitted 441 billion cubic meters (bcm) of natural gas.

The amount of natural gas transmitted by Russia to the European Union via Nord Stream has increased every year. In 2013, transmission amounted to 23.8 bcm. However, by 2021, it had reached 59.2 bcm.

In recent years, natural gas transmission through Nord Stream has even exceeded its annual capacity. In 2018, transmission reached 58.8 bcm, then 58.5 bcm in 2019, and increased again to 59.2 bcm in 2020 and 2021.
