Practical information
Following the publication of a study about “Shale Gas in Poland, United Kingdom, Danmark: Toward an European Model?” conducted by Sylvie Cornot-Gandolphe, Ifri Center for Energy organizes a roundtable conference with: Sylvie Cornot-Gandolphe, Associate Research Fellow at Ifri Centre for Energy, Thierry Deschuyteneer, Executive Secretary, Gas Infrastructure Europe (GIE), and Serge Heidrich, Partner, KPMG. Introduction by Jacques Lesourne, Chairman of the Scientific Committee of the Ifri Center for Energy. Chaired by Marie-Claire Aoun, Director, IFRI Centre for Energy and William C. Ramsay, Senior Advisor to the Ifri Center for Energy.
The Ukrainian crisis puts EU energy security back to the top of the political agenda. Two measures to increase gas source diversification have been intensively discussed lately: importing US LNG and/or developing the EU domestic shale gas resources. What volumes can the EU expect from these new gas sources? Will they be competitive on the EU gas market?
At the same time, Europe is still struggling to define a common position on shale gas development. Sylvie Cornot-Gandolphe will address how the experiences of Poland, United Kingdom and Denmark provide useful insights on the policy framework needed at an EU level to ensure a sustainable development and social acceptability.
US LNG export potential will then be addressed by Serge Heidrich and Thierry Deschuyteneer will conclude with the European LNG import potential to ensure EU security of supplies.

Brussels, Germany, France and Italy Facing the Energy and Industrial Crises: Coordinated or Diverging Trajectories?
Amidst soaring defense spending, higher borrowing costs, erosion of energy intensive industries, renewed energy price hikes and possibly physical shortages, the European Union and its Member States are again struggling to stabilize the European economies. Governments are tempted by uncoordinated, short-term moves while in Brussels, there is a struggle between the “more of the same” and the “scrap it largely” approaches to the transition.
Geopolitical stakes of the New Moon race
As the United States, China, and India solidify their lunar ambitions, Europe is still seeking to define its stance: should it be a reliable partner or an autonomous strategic player? This conference will examine the stakes of this new race to the Moon and Europe’s interest in asserting itself as a lunar power through partnerships, industrial ambitions, and whether its participation in the new lunar race serves as a lever for strategic autonomy and internal cohesion, or an illustration of its dependence.
