A view of hardware of the Jauniunai Gas Compressor station, near Vilnius, Lithuania, ON May 5, 2022. Europeans are basking in the warmth of spring, but their governments are in a race against winter. They're trying to fill underground reserves while still cutting use of Russian natural gas over the war in Ukraine. It's a big job because there's not a lot of gas available in a tight global market. More gas export terminals will come online in 2024 to supply liquid gas by ship. But for now, plans to cut gas use from Russia and still fill reserves is a tall order.
