- Were the terminals fully utlised, what markets did they serve and what‘s the use for terminals in long-term?
- How alternative LNG supply sources are shipped to Baltic region - List of partner countries from which LNG can be imported and which countries will be excluded?
- Compliance with regulatory requirements impacting LNG imports – methane regulation, CSDDD, ETS2
- Gas & LNG price driven by geopolitics, unprecendeted LNG glut and global demand – What will be the price of gas coming into the region? what is rationale to buy long term?
- How much more LNG will be needed? Which markets will the region serve in the future?

Over the past decade, Europe has seen significant growth in both carbon capture and bio-LNG projects, with many moving from development to operation in recent years. These projects highlight a strong trend in Europe towards developing an integrated industrial carbon management system and a robust market for bio-based renewable fuels within the last decade.
- National interests, project updates and latest developments
- Virtual liquefaction concept - What will be its role in the gas market and in green transition?
- How to develop a commercial market? Is it for driving down cost or to be recycled to create something valuable?
- The potential of Bio-LNG in maritime sector and future opportunities
- An overview of the FuelEU Maritime regulation, including key challenges and opportunities for Bio-LNG
CCS and CCU should be seen as complementary technologies rather than competitors, forming integral parts of a comprehensive strategy to address climate change. CCS focuses on capturing and reducing emissions directly at their source, while CCU repurposes CO₂ into useful products and resources. Together, these technologies create a synergistic effect, offering a well-rounded solution to cutting carbon emissions, driving economic sustainability, and fostering innovation. We will evaluate:
- Value chain issues, environmetal assessments and risks
- Market perspective and collaboration across Europe
- How much storage capacity is there actually there and needed?
Future energy demand will be met by a massive shift to renewables (solar, wind, hydro), which will power most new electricity growth, alongside nuclear, and increasing electrification of transport/industry, but balancing this with grid stability and storage remains key, with hydrogen emerging for hard-to-decarbonize sectors, while traditional fossil fuels continue play a vital role.
