Study on the Future Role of Gas from a Regulatory Perspective
This document (C17-GPT-04-01) is titled “Future Role of Gas from a Regulatory
Perspective” and was prepared in cooperation with DNV-GL.
The study discusses the potential future role of gas in a context of the COP21
decarbonisation targets, the growing share of renewable energy and price trends of
carbon and other fossil fuels. Based on three demand scenarios (high, average, low),
this paper evaluates the role of gas in the energy mix on a time horizon to 2040
including their respective impact on European infrastructure. A set of regulatory
measures that may be required in each of the scenarios forms a further integral part
of this study.
