2 The Geopoli*cal Economy of Global Gas Security and Governance: Implica*ons for the UK 1) A two- year research project funded by the UKERC, end date 31 st December 2013 (extended to end of March 2014). 2) Involves a team of researchers: Mike Bradshaw, Gavin Bridge, Durham University Stefan Bouzarvoski, University of Manchester Project research assistant: Joseph DuUon Consultants: Jim Watson UKERC/Sussex and the Gas Programme at the Oxford InsXtute for Energy Studies

3 Why a Supply Chain Approach to Gas Security? Provides a necessary anxdote to the current failings of the literature on the geopolixcs of energy security vis- à- vis natural gas. Provides a framework for analysis of the different dimensions of gas security. Provides a framework for idenxfying the actors, relaxonships and networks that influence global gas security. Provides a basis for examining the interacxons between global trends and regional (EU) and naxonal (UK) energy policies.

13 Na*onal Grid s Annual Gas Demand Scenarios 2013 Our Slow Progression scenario has a fairly flat view of annual demand over the scenario period. There is a further decrease in demand from 2012 due to a slower economy. Total demand then remains broadly flat, until the mid 2020s when total demand starts to decrease predominantly due to the changes in power generation demand. In the Gone Green scenario, there is a continual reduction in annual gas demand throughout the scenario period. This is due to a combined influence of further efficiency savings, a transition to alternative sources of energy in our Gone Green scenario, and power generation being maintained as marginal plant for electricity balancing and reserve. 13

17 Conclusions There is a tendency to focus on the issue of physical security of supply the UK has a diverse gas supply system but it is increasingly exposed to risks in global gas markets and price security of supply is the more likely concern. Most supply disrupxons have been technical failures in the upstream and midstream, but mixgaxon measures interconnecxon and storage can reduce these risks, but who pays? The greatest source of insecurity and uncertainty relates to security of demand and this is impacxng on investment in the power generaxon sector. How much gas, for how long requires an whole systems approach.
