Key findings from this report
At 17%, gas plays an important role in the Austrian primary energy mix. In common with many other parts of Europe, gas is gaining market share by backing out coal.
Belgium’s pipeline infrastructure is dominated by its transmission infrastructure, which is also interconnected with the distribution grid. Both the transmission and distribution grids are operated by Fluxys.
Denmark has been a gas producer since the late 1970’s. Gas is produced by both the state oil company Dansk Olie og Naturgas (DONG) and by the Danish Underground Consortium which is owned by A.P. Moeller-Maersk (39%), Shell (46%) and Texaco (15%).
A limited (but rapidly growing) wholesale market exists in France, following the creation of national trading zones, known as Points d’Echange de Gaz (PEGs), in 2004.
Dutch gas has long played a key role in meeting European gas demand. The Groningen field is central to the Dutch gas production industry, not only as a result of its large size and the fact that it has the lowest technical cost of gas in Europe, but also as a result of its high swing flexibility.
