Israel -Turkey gas pipeline discussed as European alternative to Russian energy | Reuters – https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/israel-turkey-gas-pipeline-an-option-russia-wary-europe-sources-2022-03-29/

ANKARA/JERUSALEM, March 29 (Reuters) - A Turkey-#Israel gas pipeline is being discussed behind the scenes as one of #Europe's alternatives to Russian energy supplies, but it will take complicated maneuvering to reach any deal, government and industry officials in both countries say.

The idea, first conceived years ago, is to build a subsea #pipeline from Turkey to Israel's largest offshore natural gas field, #Leviathan. #Gas would flow to #Turkey and on to southern European neighbors looking to diversify away from #Russia.

Turkey targets Balkans and EU renewables markets

Turkey looks eager to monetize its renewable energy potential and attract investments. But the policy framework to get there remains crucial.

Due to its weather conditions and vast territory, Turkey looks set to become a renewables powerhouse sooner or later. Its proximity to energy-hungry Europe is an additional strategic advantage when it comes to monetizing this potential.
