Sumario:The conflict between Russia and Ukraine has greatly affected energy markets worldwide, leading the European Union (EU) to search for new energy sources. This study looks into how Algeria and the EU are working together on energy, with Algeria becoming a key supplier of natural gas. The research uses various methods to study examples like the Transmed and MedGaz pipelines, examining changes in trade, policy adjustments, and investment trends. The study finds that Algeria is sending more gas to Europe, helping to offset the reduced supply from Russia. However, there are challenges, such as limited infrastructure, increased domestic demand for gas, and regulatory issues. Despite these hurdles, the study suggests that energy cooperation between Algeria and Europe improves Europe's energy security while contributing to Algeria's economic growth and diversification. Furthermore, the research discusses the potential for this partnership to grow towards long-term sustainability, integrating Algeria into the EU's energy transition plans. This study offers valuable insights into how geopolitical crises alter energy relationships and provides guidance for policymakers on strengthening energy ties in the Mediterranean region.
