About this book
This book analyses the recent development of liquefied natural gas (LNG) in the Baltic Sea region and how energy security in the region has improved after Finland, Lithuania, Poland, Russia and Sweden have constructed their LNG import terminals. In addition to these LNG receiving units, the book deals with the major pipeline projects, such as Baltic Pipe, Balticconnector, Nord Stream 2, and Gas Interconnection Poland-Lithuania, and their impact on energy security of the Baltic Sea region. This book will be of interest to experts specialising in European energy markets and energy security.

Reviews
“This book about natural gas and LNG especially in Baltic Sea region, edited by Professor Kari Liuhto, should be the basic material for politicians, civil servants, businesspeople and academia to better understand the sector and the transition. Its logic is sound, statistics collected are impressive” (Seppo Remes, Professor in Practice, Lappeenranta University of Technology, former member of the Board of Russian plastics and petrochemical giant Sibur Holding).
“This study is a topical and very useful presentation that opens up new perspectives for security research as well. The book deals extensively with the ongoing development and the future of natural gas - especially LNG - in the Baltic Sea region. Because energy is the foundation of our modern lives, it's role and development also affect regional and international security. The study provides an excellent demonstration of how economic interdependence is forcing the countries of the Baltic Sea region to tighten their partnerships. The most important message of the book is to show that energy issues are both political and economic from the point of view of comprehensive security.” (Military Professor, LTC Marko Palokangas, Finland’s National Defence University).
