3 Main messages The gasification of Europe ( ) has been remarkable but everything is changing LNG is making Europe part of a global gas system Market forces should create a Eurasian gas market price convergence between NWE and Asian spot price Market forces should then re-integrate North America into the global market putting long-term pressure on the Euro-Asia price Gas demand in Europe is declining at an accelerated pace, thanks to high prices & renewables policy

30 The case for fuel substitution Carbon inten nsity of heat & elec Malta Cyprus Greece Estonia Czech Republic Ireland Bulgaria Romania Netherlands Slovenia Portugal Hungary Denmark Luxembourg Belgium Slovak Republic Finland Austria Latvia Lithuania Sweden Poland Spain Italy United Kingdom Carbon pricing is supposed to incentivise coal-to-gas substitution Big prizes are in PL, CZ, DE, UK France Germany Heat & Elec Generation (GWh) Carbon intensity of Gas IEA data

31 But policy works against gas Questioning the gas-for-co2-reduction story Inter-fuel competition is heavily managed in Europe EU has effectively abandoned its climate policy in favour of a renewables policy not the same at all Coal is protected by low carbon price & subsidies Gas may be the big loser -- Cf Spain

37 For EU gas demand to grow At least some of the following would have to happen Some economic growth A return to a carbon (not renewables) policy -- fuel mix determined by relative costs including carbon price An efficient pan-european gas market, reducing the gas insecurity syndrome in Central & Eastern Europe Fully commoditised Russian gas sold at hub price; disconnected from Russia s foreign policy; some level of competition upstream A European unconventional supply boom New golden age of gas likely for the world; unlikely for Europe

38 Main messages The gasification of Europe ( ) has been remarkable but everything is changing LNG is making Europe part of a global gas system Market forces should create a Eurasian gas market price convergence between NWE and Asian spot price Market forces should then re-integrate North America into the global market putting long-term pressure on the Euro-Asia price Gas demand in Europe is declining at an accelerated pace, thanks to high prices & renewables policy
