European LNG regulation and market access

I support LNG exporters, traders, importers and advisory teams assessing the practical implications of European regulation and market access requirements.

Access to European LNG markets involves several connected layers: EU rules, national implementation, terminal arrangements and the responsibilities of different market participants. I help clients organise those questions around their proposed activity and identify the information and specialist input needed to proceed.

How I can support your work

Market access and regulatory mapping

Identify the relevant markets, institutions and requirements for an LNG supply or trading activity.

Methane regulation and implementation

Assess the business implications of methane requirements and organise the information, responsibilities and implementation questions that need to be resolved.

Coordinated advisory support

Connect work on terminal access, energy trading rules and national requirements, including specialist input where needed.

Relevant background

This work builds on my experience leading LNG policy and regulation at RasGas (now Qatargas), UK–EU gas policy at the Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy, and recent European LNG advisory assignments. I am drafting a comprehensive European LNG Compliance Hub product relevant to external LNG suppliers, in collaboration with Correggio Consulting.
