Foreign media: The Russian "Power of Siberia 2" pipeline, stretching 2,600 kilometers, is planned to transport natural gas from the Yamal Arctic gas field in Russia through Mongolia to China, with an annual capacity of 50 billion cubic meters—serving as a significant supplement to the existing "Power of Siberia 1" pipeline (which delivered 38 billion cubic meters last year and is planned to be expanded to 44 billion cubic meters).
Russia's Gazprom initiated feasibility studies in 2020 and signed a legally binding 30-year supply memorandum in September 2025, but the project has been stalled for years due to disagreements over pricing.
The urgency behind Russia's push stems from Western sanctions cutting off its European customers, greatly enhancing the strategic value of exports to China.
