Natural Gas, the Energy Source of the Future(?)!
Supporting decarbonization of European economy
Natural gas in combination with increased share of Renewable Energy Sources
Lowest CO2 emissions
Further development of technologies and innovation
Further enhancement of markets (liquidity, flexibility, integration)
A wise and strategic energy turnaround offers new possibilities and markets for
natural gas:
High potential of natural gas in the market
Diverse fields of application (thermal / power / transportation market)
Any pragmatic roadmap for a sustainable future has to involve a larger role for gas
and to strengthen awareness of natural gas as green energy in policy, public and
among our customers
Increased share of natural gas in the energy mix
Current situation

OMV as Integrated Gas and Power Player
Strategy: Integrated Gas
10. 10 |Vienna Forum on European Energy Law – March 8, 2013
Reasonable Thoughts for the Gas World
Current radical changes on the global energy market
In combination with increasing import dependency on gas in Europe
Lead to a challenging role for natural gas as a perfect supplement to
renewable energy in the future energy mix.
Thus we need a fully functioning European gas market
With supportive political and regulatory framework and
Efficient market conditions
Progress in geostrategic projects (Nabucco) and logistical integration
New markets to be opened up for natural gas
Competitive pricing
What we have to concentrate on now is the promotion of gas as the best
solution to meet future energy demand!
