Practical information
The European energy market has to face numerous challenges to achieve a successful transition towards a low carbon economy, to preserve its competitiveness and to ensure its security of supply.
While the EU Communication on the Energy Union published in February 2015 has given new impetus to Europe’s gas policy, the EU gas market has to deal with a new environment both in terms of supply and demand.
The debate will be an opportunity to discuss the future perspectives of the EU gas market. It will specifically address the relations between EU and Russia at a crossroads, the declining production in Groningen in the Netherlands and the global trends on the LNG market, with an emphasis on the US LNG.
Ifri Center for Energy organizes a roundtable conference with:
- Marie-Claire Aoun, Director Center for Energy, Ifri
- Sylvie Cornot-Gandolphe, Associate Research Fellow, Ifri
co-authors of the study, “The European Gas Market Looking for its Golden Age?”, Les Etudes, October 2015. - Jean Abiteboul, President, Cheniere Marketing Ltd
- Geert Greving, Head of Public Affairs, GasTerra B.V.

Europe in turbulence: navigating a new world order without the United States?
The foundations of the post-1945 international order, long anchored by U.S. leadership, are shifting. Amid intensifying geopolitical rivalry, democratic backsliding, and strategic fatigue in Washington, the question arises: what if the United States no longer plays its pivotal role in international security? Simultaneously, the Global South is asserting new political and economic agency, complicating the old binaries of West vs. Rest. For Europe, this landscape is both a challenge and an inflection point.
