A strategic analysis of safety and availability of natural gas: current situation and trends in Croatia

Due to its characteristics and availability, natural gas is becoming an increasingly important energy source whose consumption is rapidly increasing worldwide, including Croatia. The main objective of this paper was to analyze the Croatian gas market in terms of safety and availability of supply. For this purpose, production and consumption of natural gas were analyzed. Also, the current situation and development tendencies associated with it were detected. Given the growing importance of the process of regionalization and globalization of the gas market, the analysis of safety and availability of natural gas in Croatia was carried out in an international context, and hence possible supply routes of energy were discussed. According to forecasts, by the year 2030 Croatia will meet only about 1/8 of its needs with its gas production. Therefore, the issue of diversification of gas supply routes and expansion of its storage capacities is extremely important.
