Qatar has issued a chilling ultimatum to the European Union: drop your climate law or lose LNG. In a leaked letter, Energy Minister Saad al-Kaabi warned Brussels that the CSDDD directive is “unacceptable” and risks driving QatarEnergy out of the EU market. The law demands strict climate transition plans—but Doha says it won’t chase net zero “in the near future.” With Qatar supplying over 12% of Europe’s LNG, this standoff could trigger a fresh energy crisis. Is Brussels’ green dream now a geopolitical gamble that risks sending Europe back into blackout?
