In 2022, after the Russian-Ukrainian war broke out, the HU coordination of PA2 commissioned a study that analyzed the short and long-term potential of the reduction of Russian gas dependency of the Danube Region as a whole and of individual countries. The study includes a comparative analysis of the countries based on supply and demand side indicators, a demand reduction potential by sectors using different methods and gas market modeling to assess the supply and demand side measure’s impact on the supply mix and the gas bill of the Danube Region.
