- Wednesday 23 October 2019
  15:45 - 16:15 Debate: Energy to Europe and the green transition
  The EU’s demand for natural gas is rising, but its domestic production is declining. Is it possible to combine these two differing trends, and what role shall natural gas play in the future European energy supply? In this discussion, we will hear from stakeholders from gas transmission system on the value of establishing further gas infrastructure, representatives from Poland on how gas contribute to their green transition and how continental European gas companies are taking part in the green transition by supporting a coal to gas substitution.
