New report: Russian gas in Europe: Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow

An in-depth analysis of recent developments and prospects in Europe-Russia gas relations

With quality information from Russia getting increasingly scarce, the Russian natural gas market has become more and more of a black box. In its latest report “Russian gas in Europe: Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow. An in-depth analysis of recent developments and prospects in Europe-Russia gas relations”, CEDIGAZ tracks the unprecedented changes between glorious “yesterday” (2018-2021), gloomy “today” (2022-Q1 2023) of Russian gas (both pipeline and LNG) in Europe, including the evolution of the European countries’ dependence on Russian gas, using data still available. The report also discusses possible futures for Russian gas in Europe after 2023 (“tomorrow”) – given new inputs, includ...

New report: Unaccounted for Gas (UFG) in Gas Network Utilities – An International Perspective

MJMEnergy for CEDIGAZ – PDF - 155 pages

The unaccounted-for gas (UFG) in gas network utilities, particularly methane emissions, is a pressing environmental and financial concern. With methane being a potent greenhouse gas, efforts to reduce emissions have gained momentum, including the Global Methane Pledge signed by 105 countries. The CEDIGAZ report reveals that UFG contributes approximately 70 billion cubic meters of methane release annually, equivalent to 1.75% of global natural gas demand. This represents a significant impact on global warming and financial losses for utilities. The report explores the sources of UFG and presents solutions, emphasizing the need for accurate measurement, active monitoring, and effective regulations. It underscores the potential for methane emi...

New report : GLOBAL BIOMETHANE MARKET 2023 ASSESSMENT + DATABASE

April 2023 – 71 pages

The global biomethane or renewable natural gas industry grew by 23% in 2022 and has potential to surpass 100 billion cubic meters by 2030 with appropriate policies. Energy security concerns, climate change urgency, and methane emission reduction focus have led to new incentivizing policies stimulating investment in the RNG sector. Biomethane is being adopted across sectors worldwide to decarbonize and respond to ESG concerns, and transportation represented half of global demand growth in 2021. The sector has seen unprecedented investment, with European energy majors and financial investors creating dedicated biomethane business units, highlighting biomethane's attributes and exponential growth....
