Captive and Open Sea Energy Import Framework. REACCESS Deliverable D2.1 & D3.1

The objectives of the REACCESS (Risk of Energy Availability: Common Corridors for Europe Supply Security, EC-FP7 Project, Theme: ENERGY-2007-9. 1-01: Energy Security of Supply) work package 2 (Identification and detailed description of ’captive’ energy import corridors and framework) and work package 3 (Identification and detailed description of ‘open sea’ energy import corridors and framework) were the identification and characterisation of relevant resources, production and transportation infrastructures of the corridors that supply energy to EU27+. The two work packages applied a systematic approach to collect the main characteristics of the whole energy chain of each commodity, starting from mining activities in exporting regions up the input to EU27+ countries. This Deliverable documents the methodologies, presents the energy corridors that have been identified and reports the main figures for the energy commodities analysed, mainly in the context of the 2005 base year.
