per cent to make it through the crisis intact.<\/p>\n<p class=\"a8d-pre\">A reduction in gas consumption of up to 30 per cent may be required if Germany wants to make it through the coming winter intact, some experts have claimed, while the country\u2019s gas agency has expressed concern that the nation could run out of the hydrocarbon by February.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<p>Despite such a warning echoing that made by the country\u2019s economic and climate minister Robert Habeck earlier this month, the country\u2019s Chancellor seems to have denied such a reality, telling the European Parliament earlier today that Germany is \u201cwell prepared\u201d for the coming winter.<\/p>\n<p class=\"a8d-pre\">According to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.welt.de\/wirtschaft\/article241682647\/Gas-Bundesnetzagentur-haelt-Mangellage-im-Februar-fuer-moeglich.html\">report<\/a> by\u00a0<em>Die Welt<\/em>, Germany\u2019s\u00a0Federal Network Agency \u2014 the watchdog in charge of regulating gas and electricity in the country \u2014 has confirmed that there is a distinct possibility that Germany will run out of gas before the winter is out.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>While such a shortage will be avoided if Germany can stick to cutting its gas use by at least 20 per cent, is able to get sufficient deliveries of liquified natural gas (LNG) and if exports remain relatively low, if one of these factors not sufficiently line up, the country could end up running out of gas by the end of February.<\/p>\n<p>To make matters worse, some experts believe that this target of 20 per cent is far too low, with a reduction in gas usage of at least <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spiegel.de\/wirtschaft\/energie-deutschland-muss-gasverbrauch-um-30-prozent-senken-a-35e60ed7-2f94-4ef3-abe7-4338e885a097\">30 per cent<\/a> on the previous year needed in order to keep the economic and societal impact of shortages on Germany under control.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c30 per cent of the gas consumption from before the crisis must go down,\u201d\u00a0Gunnar Luderer, the deputy head of the federally funded\u00a0Ariadne project that performed the research, said.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"a8d-pre twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\"

indicating that Germany may yet have difficulty reaching its 20 per cent reduction goal, let alone the 30 per cent reduction some think is required.<\/p>\n<p>Despite this \u2014 as well as the fact that a senior minister within the German government has already warned that the country could run out of gas in the coming months \u2014 Chancellor Olaf Scholz <a

told the European Parliament between intermittent bouts of thunderous applause.<\/p>\n<p>However, while the Chancellor seemed to have no problem lauding the achievements of his own government, he failed to address the currently ongoing problems being experienced in the country, which has mass-insolvencies of businesses as well as <a
