SecureGas will integrate security and resilience in energy infrastructure lifetime with a scalable and replicable approach to other segments (e.g. oil) or critical infrastructures at European level and covering the whole value chain (upstream, midstream and downstream). In line with the policy framework, SecureGas will positively affect EU security by:

• adopting a Gas CI-customized panarchy model that combines resilience capabilities and the disaster management cycle and is applicable to the whole infrastructure life cycle from e.g. the threat monitoring of provisions in the gas supply contracts to the security monitoring in the operations or fast predictive simulations of disruptions including recovery.

• operationalizing resilience guidelines for strategic installations to protect assets’ operations (covering IT and OT) therefore producing effective infrastructure preventive action and emergency plans, minimizing recovery time and maximizing business continuity.

• developing comprehensive models for (economic, social, environmental) impact assessment and cascading effects to the gas network in extreme supply crisis scenarios including innovative driver factors such as the impact of solidarity mechanism introduced by the regulation to enhance regional coordination and cooperation between Member States or the effect of investments to security of gas supply using cost-benefit evaluation.
