While environmental campaigners are pushing for a shift to zero-carbon fuel, Greece is among the countries that says the disruption of Russian energy supplies as a result of the Ukraine war is reason to increase hydrocarbons exploration.

"These create the conditions for Greece to increase nearly four times from now to 2025 its export capacity towards its neighbouring countries," Galli said during the World LNG Summit in Athens, adding that Europe needs "flexible solutions and a flexible LNG market".
