Nuclear exits to boost Europe's LNG demand: Qatar

Germany's decision to shutdown its nuclear power plants will drive European demand for liquefied natural gas (LNG) as energy shortfalls emerge in the coming years, an executive with Qatari producer Rasgas said on Tuesday.
"We think LNG demand in Europe will continue to grow especially with the nuclear shutdowns in Germany," Rasgas marketing and shipping executive Khalid Sultan Al-Kuwari said at an LNG industry event in Rome.
"From our perspective, we remain committed to (supplying) Europe)," he said.
