Starting in China in late 2019 and soon spreading around the world, the virus COVID-19, because of its danger to the health of every human being, caused a global declaration of a pandemic. Many countries around the world have taken strict measures to restrict the spread of the virus in order to slow down the spread of the virus and accordingly to reduce the number of people who have fallen ill and died. Such measures have consequently led to a decline in economic activity, and thus to a reduction in energy use. Therefore, energy supply has abruptly flooded markets due to reduced demand. Gas, as a transitional energy source towards achieving the EU Commission's goals to bring climate-neutral Europe to life by 2050, has never experienced cheaper prices in spot markets across Europe in 2020. Such low gas prices have created large operating losses for gas producers and traders globally. Gas storage facilities around the world had never been filled. By releasing the measures last summer in some countries, an increase in gas demand could be noticed for a short time and, consequently, a slight increase in prices on spot markets, but not enough to reach market conditions before the pandemic. Many gas experts expect, with the advent of the vaccine in 2021, a colder winter in 2020/21. which would also contribute to the normalization of the gas market with an increase in consumption and thus an increase in the prices of this energy source. However, Europe and the rest of the world expect the economic recession whose effects and completion cannot be defined at this time. Therefore, the EU will need to review its policies regarding the implementation of EU Green Deal decisions. In the coming period, accompanied by the economic crisis, the question arises whether it is acceptable to invest significant financial resources in investing in technologies and renewable energy plants. The use of the existing gas infrastructure could therefore be profitable and maximally utilized in the coming period.
