Walter Boltz speaks about timely issues of the European Gas Markets. 
He discusses the role gas should play in the European energy market, as, for example, considered in the EU Energy Roadmap 2050 for reaching a low carbon energy system.  Price developments however make the future role of gas uncertain: European gas markets seem to be at a crossroads. Walter Boltz  looks at the changing landscape of global gas trade and the impacts of the shale gas revolution in the US. Gas will also play a different role in the power production in the future. His main questions is: what can we do to secure the position of gas?
