Abstract: |
The interdependence of electricity and natural gas is becoming a major energy
policy and regulatory issue in all jurisdictions around the world. The
increased role of gas fired plants in renewable-based electricity markets and
the dependence on gas imports make this issue particular striking for the
European energy market. In this paper we provide a comprehensive combined
analysis of electricity and natural gas infrastructure with an applied focus.
We analyze different scenarios of the long-term European decarbonization
pathways sketched out by the Energy Roadmap 2050, and identify criteria
related to electricity and/or natural gas infrastructure and the interrelation
between both markets. |
