style="text-decoration: underline;">Part 1: The contribution of oil to the security of energy supplies. Contrary to a widely shared perception that oil is an insecure source of energy supply, careful analysis shows that oil supply and logistics are very resilient to external shocks and potential conflict. The drive towards decarbonisation may mean that oil demand will peak before the middle of the century. The analysis covers the recent evolution of global oil production and shows how this has further reduced the impact of resource nationalism and political instability on oil exports. The logistics of oil have further improved, and preoccupations about such phenomena as piracy almost completely disappeared. Greater elasticity of oil supply relative to price is also impacting also on the functioning of the global oil market, increasing its responsiveness to demand and supply fundamentals.

Part 2: The contribution of natural gas to secure and cost-effective decarbonisation of Europe’s energy supply. Persistent tensions in EU-Russia relations have led to significant misgivings about the security of gas supplies. However, careful and systematic analysis shows that in fact the security of Europe’s gas supplies has consistently improved in the past two decades thanks to the success of the process of creation of a single, transparent and competitive European gas market. Notwithstanding two significant episodes of interruption of Russian gas supplies to Europe, the diversification of Russian export routes and belated acceptance on the part of Gazprom of the inevitability of complying with EU rules has completely changed supply conditions. Globally an upsurge of investment in LNG projects is leading to the formation of a global gas market in which cargoes can flexibly be redirected to accommodate unforeseen developments. In the context of Europe’s drive towards decarbonisation, gas provides a flexible source that can compensate the intermittency of new renewables and substitute for coal with substantial reduction in emissions. Unless European attitudes towards nuclear change, total elimination of reliance on fossil fuels for power production is impossible and gas will still have an important role to play.

"MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify">This comprehensive and timely book on the European energy transition has been written by Europe’s leading energy experts, and provides guidance for the incoming policy makers at a European level. It reflects on the latest policy developments, such as the Clean Energy for All Europeans package and the outcomes of the UN Climate Conference COP 24. 

The energy transition is Europe’s flagship project. It needs to provide sound answers to the climate and sustainability-, security of supply- and competitiveness imperatives. The energy transition corresponds to a large scale economic and cultural change. It encompasses sector coupling- linking up sectors that have ignored each other previously, like mobility and power. What is the meaning of digitalization, and how to face cybersecurity risks? What is the response to energy poverty, that 50 million Europeans are victims of?

While the geographical scope is Europe at large, divide lines from the past continue to exist, and new ones emerge: What are the borders of the new Energy Europe?

The book analyses the factors driving change: where are we on climate and sustainability, competitiveness and market, and security of supply? It presents the actors: what genesis of and what contemporary institutions for European energy policy, how is energy addressed by the national and by the European; what about the active customer paradigm and the many startups and business models changing, as well as NGOs? It looks into sectors: power, gas, mobility and the powerful push from digitalization. It proceeds with a reality check, based on facts and figures and reflects on modelling. Edited by Susanne Nies the book is prefaced by Jacques Delors and sees contributions from distinguished authors from policy, research, industry and NGOs across Europe.

Online training by the Florence School of  Regulation: start 17 May 2019

This book will be used as dedicated reading material in a forthcoming online training course on the energy transition. This course, with the same title as the book, targets an international audience. The training is being set up by FSR and ENTSO-E.  The book's authors have been invited to submit contributions based on their various areas of expertise.
