On January 18, 2024, the Nexus²⁵ project organized a breakfast discussion on the sidelines of the Global Forum for Food and Agriculture (GFFA) in Berlin.

Following the gas supply shock of 2022, natural gas markets moved towards a gradual rebalancing in 2023 due to timely policy action, effectively working market forces and favourable weather conditions. Gas prices significantly moderated down compared to their 2022 highs -albeit remained well-above their historic averages in Asia and Europe. Hub liquidity improved across all key markets amidst higher trading activity.

The event will be an opportunity to discuss possible solutions for reconciling energy security and climate goals in Italy, starting from the main findings of the report and research, carried out as part of a project in collaboration with Environmental Defense Fund Europe. Specifically, they will discuss the role of gas in the Italian energy sector, Italian energy diplomacy following the energy crisis, and in particular methane emissions and the possible role of hydrogen.
