Event Description
The debate around shale gas development in Europe remains in its infancy, however it is seen by many as a “game-changer” in terms of energy security, tackling climate change and in facilitating the development of renewables (as a best placed partner). However figures quoting actual shale gas reserves continue to be subject to claim and counter claim, while politically, no common approach is in place, or perhaps likely.
- Should shale gas be regulated at EU-level or is the current approach appropriate?
- What might future regulation, at both member state and EU-level look like?
- Will shale gas revolutionise the energy security situation in Europe and which countries offer the most potential?
- What role will Europe play in the global development of shale and how will such development affect European energy prices and other energy resources?
- Will shale open up further opportunities for gas to be “twinned” with renewables in the drive for a low carbon future?
- Could Europe lead the way in delivering environmentally conscious shale gas development?
