  • Europe's Energy Security
    Europe’s Energy Security: Options and Challenges to Natural Gas Supply Diversification ,name redacted,, Coordinator Specialist in Energy Policy ,name redacted, Analyst in European Affairs ,name redacted, Research Assistant ,name redacted, Specialist in European Affairs November 5, 2015 Congressional Research Service 7-.... www.crs.gov R42405 Europe’s Energy Security: Options and Challenges to Natural Gas Supply Diversification Summary As a major energy consumer, Europe faces a number of challenges in addressing future energy needs. Among these challenges are rapidly rising global demand and competition for energy resources from countries such as China and India, tensions with Russia, persistent instability in the Middle East, a fragmented internal European energy market, and a growing need to shift fuels in keeping with European climate change policy. As a result, energy supply security has become a key concern for European governments and the European Union (EU). A key element of the EU’s energy supply strategy has been to shift to a greater use of natural gas, even though in recent years natural gas use has declined. Europe as a whole is a major importer of natural gas. Russia remains one of Europe’s most important natural gas suppliers, regaining the top spot as Europe’s biggest natural gas supplier in 2014. Europe’s natural gas consumption is projected to grow while its own domestic natural gas production continues to decline. If trends continue as projected, Europe’s dependence on Russia as a supplier is likely to grow. And, while it could be in Europe’s interest to explore alternative sources for its natural gas needs, it is uncertain whether Europe as a whole can, or is willing to, replace a significant level of imports from Russia.
