The European Union is concerned by petitiveness, security and sustainability of its energy system.
This publication presents the main results of the ENCOURAGED project that assessed the potential energy corridors
between the EU and its neighbouring countries addressing in particular the issues on natural gas, electricity and
hydrogen.
The EU neighbouring countries are the main suppliers and transit countries of oil and natural gas. The dependency of
the EU on imported gas supplies is largely increasing in the next years. Therefore, the role of neighbouring countries
will grow significantly in the next decades and will probably extend to electricity exchanges and perhaps, in the next
decades, to hydrogen supply.
Three main points are of particular importance for the integration of the energy markets of the EU and neighbouring European Union and Neighbour
countries: to patible interconnections, compatible market framework patible environmental policies.
