The Future of European Gas Markets

Gas represents a pivotal element of the
European energy architecture. New elements such as the evolution of the
EU Energy Union, the international climate agreement reached at COP-21,
the EU-Russia gas relations in the aftermath of the Ukraine crisis and
the supply potential emerging in the Eastern Mediterranean, are rapidly
reshaping the European gas markets.
This book seeks to provide an insight on
these developments, with the ultimate aim of contributing to the
current European gas debate by providing a balancing act between two
issues, decarbonisation of the European energy system and security of
gas supply, that are usually conceived as different and unmatched but
that represent, in reality, the two sides of the same coin.
This book is the first of the new series
Energy Scenarios and Policies (ESP), designed upon the analogue
research programme of the Fondazione Eni Enrico Mattei (FEEM). With this
series Claeys & Casteels aims to publish interdisciplinary,
scientifically sound, prospective and policy-oriented applied energy
research, targeted at political and business decision makers.
