Under the high scenario, gas pipeline deliveries to Europe will increase by 9.5 percent compared to the level of 2019 - up to 212.8 billion cubic meters," according to the scheme, which is usually drafted by the Russian Energy Ministry.

As for Russia's gas deliveries to China, they may increase to 38-43 billion cubic meters by 2025 and 46.5 billion cubic meters by 2035, according to the document.

The total volume of export of liquefied natural gas (LNG) from Russia by 2035 may reach 88.7-155.7 billion cubic meters, depending on the scenario. The share of LNG in total gas exports from Russia by 2035 may amount to 26.2-32.5%, the general scheme read.
