Charting the course: LNG’s role in Central Eastern Europe’s energy future
The EU cannot end its dependence on Russian fossil fuels by 2027, without a diversification in LNG supply. The US responded to this need up until now but the so-called Biden pause could alter this course in the long term. In the meantime, many other actors started to emerge on the LNG map and CEE countries have a role to play as well, especially after the launch and expansion of the Vertical Corridor initiative.
- We collected for you all the major developments in the LNG industry of Central and Eastern Europe over the past 3 months;
- Thanks to Eurogas, our partner for this e-book, we conducted an exclusive interview with the association’s Secretary General, James Watson, with whom we discussed the so-called Biden LNG pause, the security measures and planning required to fully support the global LNG industry and how to reduce methane emissions from the gas sector;
- CEENERGYNEWS’ editor-in-chief Claudia Patricolo has prepared for you an in-depth analysis of the Vertical Corridor and the role that LNG plays within the regional infrastructure;
- We collected for you also exclusive insights from the major LNG associations and global experts, providing perspectives from the US, the EU, Africa, Qatar and so on;
- We focused on what role LNG could play after 2050 when Europe should rely mainly on renewable energy sources and new technologies;
- We made an exclusive interview with Darius Šilenskis, CEO of KN Energies about the Baltic region’s attractiveness for global LNG markets;
- In the e-book, you’ll also find a special section dedicated to the hydrogen market, Europe’s competitiveness and the major hydrogen developments in CEE.
