Abstract

This working paper represents the first in the series to be published as a description of ongoing activities in the IIASA International Gas Study. Thus, the paper represents a report of one particular task that is nearing completion. The working papers will be presented as individual research activities, although they form only one part of the overail study.

This particular paper describes one approach of addressing natural gas production, trade, and use in Europe. For this purpose Europe was divided into five regions in order to distinguish between different endowments with natural gas resources, energy requirements, levels of economic development, and economic infrastructures.

The basic objective of the approach was to develop a simple model that can describe future natural gas production, trade, and use on an interactive basis with the analyst. Thus, the model represents a flexible tool that helps identify important issues and questions that could be addressed by other activities within the International Gas Study.
