March 3, 2021 – 10am CET

Supply competition in Europe’s gas markets 

Europe’s domestic production is declining rapidly which means import dependency is rising. A number of suppliers are well positioned to take advantage of this; Russia, Qatar, US, Norway. New import infrastructure and the gasification of Eastern Europe opens up new markets and increases competition. Who will supply Europe with gas in the short and medium term and will Gazprom’s dominant position be challenged?

Gas Market Integration: How liquid are Europe’s hubs?

Liquid hubs are a prerequisite for security of supply and competitive gas prices for industry. The TTF has overtaken the NBP as Europe’s main trading hub and other continental hubs are beginning to show maturity. Will Europe’s hubs benefit from more LNG and new supply routes? And will the implementation of the Third Energy Package and Network Codes boost liquidity further?

Gas companies go green(er) 

A number of European oil and gas majors have pledged to become net-zero companies by 2050. The question is how, when and if they will achieve this. A huge transition towards offshore wind, hydrogen, biofuels and carbon capture technologies is on the horizon. Where do we go from here? Are the policy signals and economic incentives strong enough for the transition to accelerate?

Renewable gases: Ambition vs realism

Green gases are grabbing headlines these days and are seen as instrumental in reaching the net-zero 2050 target. Costs are coming down and policy makers pledge support. But how achievable is the transition from fossil fuels to hydrogen? For example, is Europe building enough wind and solar projects to enable the green hydrogen revolution? Transportation of hydrogen through new or existing gas networks is also a key challenge that needs to be resolved.

The Role of Gas in the EU’s Green Deal 

Gas is helping to reduce CO2 emissions by replacing coal in power generation.But in the longer term we need to start thinking about CCS for gas-fired power plants to stay on the grid. Moreover, gas only has a limited market share in road transport and shipping. Could the EU ETS help change this? Methane leakage also needs to be addressed, but is the EU doing enough?
