Abstract

Despite the growing share of energy from renewable sources in the overall structure of energy consumption, gas remains a very important component in the energy balance. Liquefied natural gas has an increasing role in the global energy structure, among other things due to the fact that it is recognized as a transitional energy on the way to the complete cessation of the use of fossil fuels. With the successful completion of the construction of the terminal for reception, storage and dispatch of LNG on the island of Krk, which was put into commercial operation on January 1, 2021, the Republic of Croatia has achieved a strategic national priority in ensuring security of gas supply. The LNG terminal significantly affects the diversification of gas supply routes, which enables Croatia to supply gas from sources from which gas has not been able to reach Croatia, and changes Croatia's geostrategic position as a link to the markets of this part of Europe.

Abstract

Unatoč sve većem udjelu energije dobivene iz obnovljivih izvora u ukupnoj strukturi potrošnje energije, prirodni plin ostaje vrlo važna komponenta u energetskoj bilanci. Ukapljeni prirodni plin ima sve veću ulogu u globalnoj energetskoj strukturi, između ostalog i iz razloga što je prepoznat kao tranzicijski energent na putu prema potpunom prestanku korištenja fosilnih goriva. Uspješnim završetkom izgradnje terminala za prihvat, skladištenje i otpremu UPP-a na otoku Krku, koji je 1. siječnja 2021. pušten u komercijalni rad, Republika Hrvatska je ostvarila strateški nacionalni prioritet u osiguravanju sigurnosti opskrbe plinom. Terminal za UPP značajno utječe na diversifikaciju dobavnih pravaca i omogućava opskrbljivačima prirodnim plinom u Republici Hrvatskoj i susjednim zemljama dobavu prirodnog plina iz izvora iz koji su do sada bili nedostupni regionalnom tržištu. Samim time značajno se izmijenila geostrateška pozicija Hrvatske kao poveznice prema tržištima ovog dijela Europe.

Uvod

UPP ima sve veći utjecaj u ukupnoj potrošnji prirodnog plina u svijetu, poglavito u Europi u kojoj pada proizvodnja prirodnog plina, a raste potreba za uvozom. Osim ruskog, norveškog i alžirskog prirodnog plina koji se u Europu doprema plinovodima, svoj put do europskih potrošača sve više nalazi i UPP. Budući da se uz postojeće dobavne plinovode grade i novi, stvara se iznimna konkurencija. Cijene prirodnog plina u Europi su u 2020. bile na rekordno niskim razinama pa se iz perspektive europskih potrošača, može reći da su već vidljivi rezultati tržišnog natjecanja. Izgradnjom Terminala za UPP na otoku Krku i Hrvatskoj se otvara mogućnost boljeg iskorištavanja svoje geostrateške pozicije. Trenutno ostvareni zakup kapaciteta terminala je dovoljan da rezultira konkurentnom tarifom, što može imati daljnje pozitivne učinke na sami terminal, ali i tržište u cjelini.
