Channel: Room for Discussion
Date: 2022-01-25

Coby van der Linde has been the director of  the Clingendael International Energy Programme since 2001. Clingendael is one of the major research institutes on the international developments of the energy sector. She is also a professor in Groningen, specialised in energy and geopolitics. She has followed the developments in the natural gas market for decades. From a time where the Netherlands was a big transporter of natural gas, to the closure of the Groningen gas fields. From geopolitical tensions with Russia to the recent rise in gas prices. 
We speak to Van der Linde about the current situation on the Gas Market. What effect do the geopolitical tensions have on the price of gas? What can we expect the coming years? What role does natural gas play in the green energy transition?
