Natural gas from the Cronos field off the coast of Cyprus is slated to begin supplying European consumers by March 2028, according to Cyprus's Energy Minister Michael Damianos. This development positions the Eastern Mediterranean as a crucial alternative energy source for Europe, especially given the ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East. The Cronos field's gas will be transported to Egypt for liquefaction and then shipped to Europe, representing the first time this region's gas will reach European markets. Other significant gas fields like Zohr, Glaucus, Pegasus, and Aphrodite are also being developed, with potential to further bolster energy supplies. AI
