The German and Danish authorities are trying to identify the reasons why Nord Stream 2 instantly downloaded the pressure from 150 to 7 bars. As a result, there was a gas leak directly to the Baltic Sea.
The leak from the gas pipeline that connects Russia with the rest of Europe occurred on the island of Bornholm, in Denmark, and the reasons are still unknown, reveals Reuters.
“We are in contact with the authorities to find out what happened. We are still not sure of the causes that led to this phenomenon”, reports the German Minister of Economics and Energy, Robert Habeck.
In a statement issued by the Danish Energy Agency, it is reported that the Danish maritime authorities “issued a shipping advisory to establish a 5 nautical mile (9.26 kilometer) prohibited zone around the pipeline, as it appears dangerous for nautical traffic“. It also ensures that the event has no impact on the security or distribution of gas in the country.
Nord Stream 2 has become one of the most important weapons used by Russia in response to sanctions applied by Europe. Germany has decided to suspend the certification of the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline, which has not affected the European gas supply.
