Benefits
Main Driver Market Demand
Main Driver Explanation This project EUGAL ) is based on the market survey MORE CAPACITY ) to determine the need for new transport
capacities for H gas at the boundaries of the GASPOOL market area. This project connects several existing and new interconnection points.
Benefit Description
Europe needs additional capacities for transporting natural gas. A Europe-wide survey in the summer of 2015 identified that there is a long-term need for
the European gas pipeline link EUGAL. In particular the Czech Republic and Poland, but Austria as well, will need more natural gas in future from Western
European pipeline systems. The demand for natural gas that is to be supplied from east to west will increase sharply by 2040. We need new transport
routes and higher capacities to satisfy the wishes of consumers in these countries. The EUGAL is therefore an economically sensible outcome of various
scenarios for expanding the German and European natural gas pipeline network. )
