Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this study is to explain the importance of natural gas, which has a special place among primary energy sources, for the world, for the EU and for Turkey. In this context, also, an evaluation has been made on the Nabucco Project which, some may think, renders Turkey an energy bridge. The statistical data used throughout the study relate to the traded primary sources only (coal, oil, natural gas, nuclear energy and hydro-electricity). According to the data collected, during the course of the study, the Nabucco Project is found to be a real challenge due to difficulties faced in providing the quantities to meet the demands.
