Europe abandons hopes of US-style shale gas revolution | EurActiv:

SPECIAL REPORT / Europe abandons hopes of US-style shale gas revolution.
Shale gas has had a “minimal impact” on the US’s manufacturing
industry, and will have even less significance for Europe, a new report
shows.

 

 But in terms of revitalising Europe’s manufacturing sector and economy as a whole, the report’s authors conclude that the shale gas effect would be “negligible”. By 2035, shale gas is estimated to be meeting no more than between 3-10% of EU gas demand.
