A relatively abundant, cheap and clean source of energy, natural gas is becoming an increasingly essential part of Europe's energy mix, winning supporters for a variety of uses ranging from power generation, household heating and transport to fertilizer, plastics, and other manufacturing products. Especially if blended with bio-gas it will gain substantially in sustainability.
The European Union champions high living standards and environmentally-friendly economic development. To achieve this goal, securing supplies of energy at affordable prices is a top priority.
