The Indian gas sector is expected to be one of the world’s fastest-growing markets over the next two decades. Yet there is a wide divergence of views around India’s future gas demand and the potential for gas to reach this share. The affordability of gas remains central to this ambition. The...

Durch die Gasspeicherregelungen soll die Versorgungssicherheit im Winter erhöht werden. Ausschreibungen und direkte Beschaffung durch den Marktgebietsverantwortlichen sollen die Befüllung der Gasspeicher sicherstellen. Beide Instrumente können zu einer Verdrängung von anderen Speichermengen...

This Paper gives the results of the Author’s in-depth analysis of the European traded gas hubs in 2020, as well as explaining the ‘LNG effect’ on increased volumes in Belgium, France, and Spain in particular. The purpose of the analysis is to confirm that the hubs are all still relevant...

The energy crisis, catalysed by the Russian invasion of Ukraine, has disrupted the global gas market. This analysis out to 2030 assesses the impact of the crisis and considers whether this may lead to a fundamental change in the global gas market or whether it my just be a slight blip in the...

The impact of the Russia-Ukraine war on the natural gas trade, inter alia, continues to be felt well beyond Europe’s borders. As the accelerated decarbonisation of the world’s economies is being pushed forward, Europe’s unexpected interest in alternative sources of gas imports to replace...

In der politischen Debatte um die richtige Reaktion des Westens auf den russischen Angriffskrieg auf die Ukraine steht neben den bereits beschlossenen Sanktionen ein sofortiges Gasembargo als Mittel im Raum, um den wirtschaftspolitischen Druck auf Russland zu erhöhen. Hier ist insbesondere...

Mit einem Importanteil von mehr als 50% beruht ein Großteil der deutschen Gasversorgung auf Lieferungen aus Russland. Es würde schwerfallen, diese kurzfristig zu ersetzen, da sowohl die Kapazitäten der LNG-Terminals als auch die Transportkapazitäten des bestehenden Pipelinenetzes begrenzt...

The electrical performance of solution-processed a-IGZO thin-film transistors is significantly increased by adding acetylacetone (acac) to the precursor solution. However, the effect of the additive on the performance of gas sensors is unclear. This study uses acac as an additive to control the...

The UK is believed to hold prolific reserves of shale gas; the quality of which has been compared and sometimes branded superior to the much successful US shale plays. Nonetheless, after more than ten years since the 13th Onshore Licensing Round, the fracking industry is said to have benefited...

The European energy markets, in particular gas, showcase the tension between the expansion of the application of European Union (EU) law beyond its borders (or at least the effects thereof), and geopolitics, legislative and regulatory hurdles as well as opportunities for expansion. As the EU...

Gas flow rate measurement technologies in the oil and gas industry have evolved over the years with the use of sophisticated techniques of analysing signals to measure fluid flow in pipes. These techniques are accompanied by cost implications and accuracy dependence. This paper focused on the...

This paper offers an overview and explanation of international gas contracts, of which there are several types along the value chain. The key objective of this paper is to focus on two specific categories of long-term agreements for gas and liquefied natural gas (LNG) sales, namely Gas Supply...

For many years Russian domination of SE Europe’s gas imports meant it was regarded as “Russia’s market”. In the last 3 years, however, much new infrastructure has been commissioned, which has enabled the region to diversify its import mix and significantly change its gas flow patterns....

The thermo-driven photocatalytic CO2 hydrogenation was studied for NiOx/Nb2O5 from the point of CO2 and H2 adsorption behavior. Photothermal synergistic and Ni modification dramatically changed the electron transfer behavior of CO2 adsorption (CO2 (ads)) and H2 (ads) via regulating Fermi level...

The growing "electrify everything" movement aims to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by transitioning households and firms away from natural gas toward electricity. This paper considers what this transition means for the customers who are left behind. Like most natural monopolies, natural gas...

Brazil holds great promise for natural gas development: a large population underpinning rising energy demand; sizeable reserves, and a market hungry for diversification of energy sources. While great progress has been achieved in the last 30 years in the development of natural gas production,...

Natural gas infrastructures play a key role in the transition towards the new energy model, with a high share of renewable energies, both ensuring the firm capacity of electric power systems and integrating all energy vectors. The European Union (EU) strongly depends on external natural gas...

This study aims to examine the impact of unbundling regulation (vertical separation) on incentives for pipeline investment. Recently, the Japanese government has decided to institute vertical separation of natural gas companies. Major existing natural gas companies, called incumbents, will be...

Chapter 1. Why Gas? -- Chapter 2. Why Latin Europe? -- Part 1: Dawn and Consolidation of Latin Europe’s Industrialisation: the Evolution of Gas in the 19th Century -- Chapter 3. The Internationalization of the English Gas Industry in Latin Europe in the 19th Century -- Chapter 4. First Steps...

This article explores the influence of socio-economic discontent on the determination of decision makers to cut subsidies on natural gas for Russian households. The authors outline first the organisation of gas supplies and subsidies, and secondly the relationship between policymaking signals...

This contribution investigates the form and content of a new and updated European Union (EU) legal framework intended to regulate third-country import pipelines for gas, including the ‘upstream' component of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline. The article will first set the scene and examine the...

Metal oxide semiconductors-based gas sensors have been extensively explored due to their high sensing response, cost-effectivity, long-term stability, and simple fabrication. However, their utilization at low operating temperature is still challenging. Thus, reduction in power consumption is...

This study investigates the dynamic causal relationship between gas productions and the impotence of the gas flaring regulatory laws and policies in Nigeria. The theoretical models adopted for the study is the law and economics framework of Posner and Akaike’s econometric time-series...

This paper studies natural gas futures returns on EIA storage announcement days. More than 50% of the annual return is earned on these days. We find a significant difference between announcement and non-announcement day returns, which cannot be explained by the announcement surprise or other...
