GASTALE Natural Gas Market Model

GASTALE is a game-theoretic equilibrium model of the European natural gas market that includes all gas producers supplying to Europe and European gas consumers and takes into account existing gas infrastructure (e.g. pipelines, LNG facilities).

The model is used to analyze the impact of competition and gas demand developments on future gas prices, gas production and imports, gas storage, security of supply, etc. In addition, GASTALE is unique among its competitors since it is capable of simulating investment decision-making for additional gas infrastructure (i.e. expansion of pipeline capacity, expansion of storage capacity, expansion of LNG liquefaction and re-gasification capacity).
