Power-to-Gas can contribute with valuable balancing power and seasonal storage capacity to future power systems. In Portugal, forecasts for 2020 show significant excess of renewable energy generation that can be transformed by power-to-gas technology and fed into the natural gas infrastructure. This work suggests an innovative approach to assess future power-togas integration potentials at the national...
In this article the impact of liquefied natural gas (LNG) imports and shale gas exploitation on a European dependency from main gas suppliers is analysed. For this purpose we introduce the “Gas Market Model (GaMaMod)” that represents the European natural gas market within a bottom-up approach. In order to analyse the European gas supply, we look at two main scenarios for the year 2025 with regard...
Until recently, most natural gas trade has been limited to the regional scale due to the challenges of transporting gas over long distances. Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) — an option that reduces the volume of gas about 600 times allowing for transportation by ship — has created an opportunity for expansion of the international market for natural gas. Pipeline option shows cost competitiveness for short...
This paper discusses the recent events and trajectory of Unconventional Hydrocarbon (UH) development in Europe and the United States, contrasting the ‘high-politics’ debate on UH with the ‘place-based’ perspectives of locally impacted communities. The unitary frames that dominate official political debates, industry responses and mainstream media texts, bifurcate UH development as an economy versus...
Regulators hope that competitive forces will be enough to create efficiency, and hence we see their persistent policy concerns about market structure, resource adequacy and regional interconnection. Facilitating the latter, in particular, through greater network interconnection capacities, and the harmonization of trading at various local hubs is going to be actively pursued in many parts of Europe...
Natural gas trading in Europe has changed significantly since first deregulatory measures were taken in the late 1990s. The opening of transport infrastructure to third parties and the separation of transport from other activities along the natural gas value chain have in combination with other regulatory interferences, led to the development of several trading places across Europe. We investigate...
Shale gas in Europe could potentially be a big thing, especially in particular regions. Whereas test drillings need to confirm the technical recoverability of deposits and further research is needed on the environmental and safety aspects of shale gas production, this paper illustrates that shale gas developments may have substantial implications for regional gas balances, gas flows, and infrastructure...
This study continues the issue of Russian economic reform in the study by Quast and Locatelli (1997) and extends the same reform in many aspects. In this article, in-depth study is also made in the reform strategies (vertical and horizontal integration and diversity) and the business performance of Gazprom, Russia's natural gas company, as Russian had tried to save its domestic political and economic...
In this article we expose the status and outlook of the market dynamics and its related infrastructure in the South East Europe (SEE). An important emphasis is given in the actual coalitions that will assist in the faster and more robust development of the gas sector in SEE, the existing infrastructure, the future projects that are under development on under study and the regulation that is needed...
