Local Content Development in the East Mediterranean Energy Market

The Department of Engineering cordially invites you to the following talk:

Local Content Development in the East Mediterranean Energy Market

 

Abstract

With major gas findings in Cyprus, Israel and Egypt, the gas market in the East Mediterranean is rapidly developing. Especially Egypt with its “Modernization of the Energy Sector”-project is becoming an important player. For Cyprus and Israel one of the options is to connect its major gas findings with LNG liquefaction capacity in Egypt. The region could also benefit from establishing a gas trading hub. But where should this trading facility be positioned?

Besides government revenue, natural gas could bring employment opportunities to the gas producing countries. In this presentation, available options and international examples of local content management are presented. Finally, it will be discussed how Cyprus could benefit from the energy knowledge and experience from countries around the North Sea basin.
