  • For Global LNG in Europe: Understanding the Complexity of Access Rules for EU Import Terminals

ISBN 978-1-78467-155-6 DOI: https://doi.org/10.26889/9781784671556 i Preface The importance and relevance of LNG for European gas balances has increased substantially in the late 2010s after several years of relatively low import levels and under-utilised regasification capacity. For some this was simply a question of the most efficient means to acquire competitive gas supplies through existing infrastructure, while others built new regasification terminals for supply diversification and security. In 2019, European LNG imports increased by more than 40% compared with the previous year and the main question for exporters had changed from whether the EU would be willing and able to compete with (principally) Asian countries for global supply, to whether they would be able to find a home for their cargoes in an over-supplied market. As the EU is the only major gas market with third party access to LNG terminals, this means that exporters can always place a cargo for which no other market can be accessed unless the owner of the terminal or the buyer agrees.

By establishing firm and loyal grassroots relationships with local, national, and international partners, we are able to access some of the most hard-to-reach places in the world, at their most vulnerable of times, allowing us to help people that most other organisations are unable to reach. Human Appeal believes that establishing stable healthcare, education, and livelihood programmes paves the way for empowered, self-serving communities. We also recognise that the provision of food, medical aid, and emergency shelter in times of humanitarian crisis is essential for the immediate preservation of life.
