5 European gas squeezed by renewables and coal Recession and relatively high gas prices reduce industrial and power demand. Cheap US coal more competitive than gas aided by low carbon prices via EU ETS Heavy investments in renewable generation helped by subsidies - lower power prices Most scenarios prior to 2010 assumed European gas demand to grow above 600bcm in 2015 and 700bcm in 2030

11 Future demand dependent on policy outcomes Uncertainty surrounding European long-term energy policies EU climate change targets? Security of supply issues impact of 3 rd Russia/Ukraine gas standoff ETS oversupply coal more attractive than gas in electricity mix EU efficiency targets Source: Oxford Institute for Energy Studies, based on European Commission Energy Roadmap 2050

12 Substantial need for new natural gas supplies Uncertainties over European shale gas development, but clear and significant requirement for new imports. Questions over some existing exporters to increase or maintain supply Algeria, Egypt, Libya Europe will continue to depend on Russian gas (and vice-versa), but need to diversify (on both sides) New supply opportunities from Caspian, East Mediterranean and US LNG Source: Oxford Institute for Energy Studies, based on European Commission Energy Roadmap 2050
