Abstract
European gas markets continue to experience rapid changes driven both by
liberalization and new market entrants. Rising gas demand in Western European
markets continues to offer growth opportunities. The Western European Gas
Market Outlook 2008 is a newly updated management report that examines the
role gas plays in each of the major Western European markets and analyses the
differences that exist in terms of gas self sufficiency, and future growth of
demand. This report provides new and updated analysis of 19 Western European
gas markets, with detailed data on supply and demand balances. Each country
profile features supply and demand overviews, an examination of key
governmental, legal and political influences on the sector and an analysis of
wholesale trading and the pipeline, LNG and storage infrastructure. Use this
report to identify and exploit new profit opportunities created by Western
European gas market expansion and anticipate future market risks.
