SH:Europe Striving Towards Diversifying Natural Gas Sources - Implications for Russian Gas Exports and Gas Producers from Middle East and North Africa
DUBLIN -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/f4d988/europe_striving_to) has announced the addition of GlobalData's new report "Europe Striving Towards Diversifying Natural Gas Sources - Implications for Russian Gas Exports and Gas Producers from Middle East and North Africa" to their offering.
Europe Striving Towards Diversifying Natural Gas Sources - Implications for Russian Gas Exports and Gas Producers from Middle East and North Africa, is the latest report from GlobalData, the industry analysis specialists, that analyzes the key issue of diversification of the natural gas sources in Europe and its implication for Russian gas exports and the gas rich countries of the Middle East and North Africa. The report provides information on the natural gas market of Europe, the supply demand gap in natural gas and gas trade movements. The report also analyzes Russia's role in the European natural gas market. It also covers the initiatives taken by Europe to reduce the dependence on Russia for natural gas. The report is built using the data and information sourced from proprietary databases, primary and secondary research and in-house analysis by GlobalData's team of industry experts.
Natural Gas is an Important Constituent of European Energy Mix
Natural gas is an important constituent of European energy mix. It represents one-third of the total energy consumption in the region. Natural gas in Europe is used for various industrial, commercial and residential purposes. Low carbon emissions and cost competitiveness associated with natural gas are the factors driving the preference towards natural gas usage in the region. Russian Federation Supplies Over One-Fourth of the European Natural Gas Imports
Russian Federation (Russia) plays a significant role in European natural gas imports. It supplies about 29% of the total natural gas imports to Europe. This over-dependence on Russian gas supplies makes the region vulnerable to gas supply disruptions as happened during Russia-Ukraine gas price dispute. While Europe has been able to reduce the share of Russia in its natural gas imports over the last few years, the importance of Russia in its natural gas market is expected to continue in the near future.
Middle East and North African (MENA) Region Possesses Two-Fifths Of World's Natural Gas Reserves And Hence is Seen as an Alternative to Russia for Gas Supply
The MENA countries possess around 43% of the world's proved natural gas reserves. Hence, European region is looking at MENA countries as a potential alternative to Russia to secure its gas requirements. Europe aims at reducing the share of Russia in its gas imports in order to safeguard itself for future against the manipulative tactics used by Russia in the past. (It has been alleged that Russia deliberately curtails gas supplies to Europe).
