Jonker, Hendrik (author)Since the liberalization of the energy markets, the storage of energy is decoupled from the production and sales. In Western-Europe the storage of natural gas becomes more and more important because production fields get depleted and governments force companies to slow down their production because of tremors in the ground. Natural gas needs to...master thesis 2019
