Este trabalho tem como objectivo demonstrar que a Europa se encontra cada vez mais de¬pendente das importações para suprir as suas necessidades de gas natural, o que poem em causa a segurança energetica europeia. Actualmente, cerca de metade das necessidades europeias de gas natural são supridas a custa de importações, das quais 80% provem de dois países, a Russia e a Argelia. Em termos estrategicos, a situacao agrava-se ao nao se encontrar a esperada dependencia económica das economias russa e argelina das receitas de exportacao do gas natural. Por forma a mitigar o problema de seguranca energetica que representa esta crescente dependencia, a Europa, sem reservas de gas natural sig-nificativas, com uma producao endógena em declínio e uma perspectiva de aumento do consumo de gas natural, motivado pelas actuais imposicoes ambientais e pela ausencia de fontes de energia primíaria alternativas, devería promover a expansãao da rede de gasodutos e das infra-estruturas LNG permitindo assim o acesso a novas geografias de importacao de gás natural
This work aims to show that Europe is increasingly dependent on imports to supply its natural gas demand, undermining European security of supply. Currently, about half of European natural gas demand is supplied trough imports, of which 80% comes from two countries, Russia and Algeria. In a strategic point of view, the situation is even worse due to the lack of the expected economic dependence from the Algerian and Russian economies of the natural gas export revenues. In order to tackle the problem of security of supply that the growing European dependence on natural gas imports represents, Europe, without significant natural gas reserves, with a declining endogenous production and a perspective increased of natural gas consumption, due to the current environmental policies and lack of alternative primary energy sources, should promote the expansion of the gas pipeline network and LNG infrastructures so that Europe can access new natural gas import geographies.
