How to Enhance Security of Natural Gas Supply in Slovakia
How to Enhance Security of Natural Gas Supply in Slovakia

Summary/Abstract: Europe is becoming increasingly dependent on imported hydrocarbons. The EU’s energy import dependence will jump from 50% of total EU energy consumption today to 65% in 2030. What should Slovakia, which is is nearly 100% dependent on the import of Russian gas, do in order to improve its natural gas supply portfolio and increase security of supply? This paper gives a qualified opinion on these matters and simultaneous recommendations on the strategy Slovak policy makers should adopt. In addition, the possibilities related to increasing security of natural gas supply analyzed in this paper present also a challenge in the light of the common European energy policy.
