Data from Eurostat indicates that the geography of Europe&#39;s energy supply remained largely consistent during this period, with specific commodities showing varying trends in value and volume.<\/p>\n<p>Regarding natural gas in its gaseous form, primarily delivered via pipelines, the EU observed an 18.5% increase in import value and a 3.4% rise in volume compared to the monthly average of 2025. In this crucial segment, Norway maintained its leading position, while <a class=\"dzsl-auto-link dzsl-internal\" data-dzsl=\"internal\" href=\"https:\/\/dzwatch.dz\/?cat=1\">Algeria<\/a> emerged as the second-largest supplier to the EU, accounting for 18.2% of these imports. This demonstrates Algeria&#39;s continued importance as a direct pipeline gas provider.<\/p>\n<p>In the market for liquefied natural gas (LNG), the EU&#39;s import value increased by 4.1%, even as the imported volume saw a 5.6% decrease from the 2025 average. The United States was the primary supplier of LNG, with Russia as the second. Algeria was the third-largest supplier, contributing 8.1% of the EU&#39;s total LNG imports during the second quarter of 2026. This diversified supply portfolio underscores Algeria&#39;s broad engagement in meeting Europe&#39;s energy demands.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Algeria maintained its position as a significant energy supplier to the European Union in the second quarter of 2026, notably ranking as the second-largest provider of gaseous natural gas.
