epa10081495 A customer puts brown coal in order after loading in a storage area at coal warehouse in Ostrava, Czech Republic, 20 July 2022. The European Commission on 20 July will present a plan to reduce gas consumption by industry and consumers in an attempt to counteract likely shortages of Russian gas supplies this winter. The proposal is likely to recommend focusing on industry and energy and replacing gas with other sources where possible, even if this means a temporary return to burning coal or oil.
