East Mediterranean gas disruptions expose regional supply fragility

East Mediterranean gas supply has been exposed as structurally fragile following repeated disruptions to Israeli exports, forcing regional importers to accelerate diversification strategies, expand LNG use and rethink infrastructure to improve energy security. East Mediterranean gas disruptions have revealed deep structural vulnerabilities in regional energy systems, particularly following repeated shutdowns of Israeli exports due to conflict-related risks. As outlined in […]

European gas storage shifts from seasonal spreads to volatility-driven value

European gas storage is undergoing a structural shift as traditional seasonal spreads weaken, with value increasingly driven by short-term price volatility rather than intrinsic forward curve opportunities. European gas storage is experiencing a fundamental transformation in how value is generated, as highlighted by the 2025–26 gas year. Historically reliant on seasonal spreads, storage operators are now facing persistently weak intrinsic […]

Carbon capture for gas power in Europe faces cost and delivery risks

Carbon capture for gas power in Europe faces significant cost, technical and delivery risks, with limited commercial deployment and heavy subsidy requirements raising questions over its role in decarbonising the region’s energy system. Carbon capture for gas-fired power generation in Europe presents substantial challenges, including high costs, long development timelines and limited operational track record. There are currently no commercial-scale […]
