Description
In this timely book, leading experts explore how Europe's gas sector is being reshaped by geopolitical shocks, climate ambition, innovative technologies and evolving market structures.
Combining policy, regulatory and geopolitical analysis, European Gas Markets in Transition traces the historical development of Europe's gas supply and regulation from post-war through to the impacts of the 2022 energy crisis. Structured in four thematic sections, the book covers the key issues of supply security, market liberalisation, value chain transformation and decarbonisation. Contributing authors assess strategies such as REPowerEU and the Fit for 55 package within the broader energy transition and climate policy context. They also outline future pathways for natural gas in the EU, including the role of hydrogen, biomethane and infrastructure repurposing.
This is a valuable resource for students and academics in economics and finance, environmental studies and energy policy. It is also an essential read for professionals and policymakers in the energy sector seeking to understand the future of gas in an increasingly complex and carbon-constrained world.
