Future of European Natural Gas Markets: Assessment of Alternatives to Russian Supply (2011-2015)
Synergyst, Feb 2011, Pages: 135
Russia Continues to Remain Leading Natural Gas Supplier to Europe, Synergyst Estimates
Between 2011 and 2015, Russia will remain leading supplier of natural gas to Europe, though overall share of natural gas in energy consumption will come down significantly
Historically, Europe has been one of the leading consumers of natural gas, though in recent years, the natural gas consumption has been declining. Decline in consumption has been a result of economic slowdown, due to recession and a conscious attempt by European Union to cut it natural gas consumption, of which a substantial amount comes from Russia. And worrying part remains that there are very few alternatives for Europe to Russian gas supplies. According to IEA's estimates, the current European energy imports of 50% are projected to rise to 70% by 2030. This means, the current share of Russian supply, which makes almost half of Europe's natural gas imports, is likely to increase over next two decades. Synergyst's “Future of European Natural Gas Markets: Assessment of Alternatives to Russian Supply (2011-2015)” explores the current situation of natural gas imports in Europe, role of Russia in those supplies and an analysis of alternatives to Russian supplies.
