  9. Gas Ambitions • Source: https://ec.europa.eu/energy/sites/ener/files/documents/trends_to_2050_update_2013.pdf CERRE, June 14, 2016, W. Boltz To retain and possibly grow the market share of gas in the EU fuel mix To replace coal as the fuel of choice as backup for REN To be recognized as a flexible and attractive (at least mid term) alternative for stabilizing the electricity grid in times of high REN shares To support climate change actions by e.g. replacing oil in transport with gas

  10. Natural gas set for a revival ? ……in Spanish power sector: Sedigas Barcelona (Platts)--20 May 2016 1047 am EDT/1447 GMT Natural gas could increase its share of primary energy supply in Spain to up to 33% by 2030 given the flexibility of gas-fired power plants and abundant gas infrastructure, industry group Asociacion Espanola del Gas (Sedigas) said.With EU legislation urging a move to a reduced carbon scenario as well as moves by regional sector players in Spain to reduce their coal-fired output, Sedigas said Friday the future lay in a combination of renewables and back-up thermal technology.Sedigas, citing a study conducted in conjunction with consulting group KPMG, noted gas-fired plants can, in many cases, reach full output in less than an hour, while Spain's seven LNG terminals and three major import pipelines afforded a high level of security of supply.Between 5.5 GW and 10 GW of new-build combined cycle gas plants might be necessary if Spain is to conclude the move to a lower carbon future and meet renewable targets at the same time, the group said.(full article: http://www.platts.com/latest-news/natural-gas/barcelona/natural-gas-set-for-a-revival-in-spanish-power-21502307 ) CERRE, June 14, 2016, W.

  12. ChallengesarisingfromincreasedRENOpportunitiesfor Gas ? CERRE, June 14, 2016, W. Boltz REN expansion still rather expensive anddifficulttofinance in lowerincome EU memberstates A too quick „Energiewende“ will result in strandedinvestmentsandquite high surchargesforconsumersand in electricitypriceseverywhere in therangeof DK/D Only rather otimistic forecasts show that in spite of the rapid REN expansion beyond 2020, electricity prices could stabilize and even decrease. ( hope dies last!) The impact of high REN shares on total energy system costs is in any case that they become much more capital intensive over time.

  19. Panel 1: What is the role of Gas in today’s EU energy mix? Does it need to reinvent itself? CERRE, June 14, 2016, W. Boltz Questions: • Q1: Renewables will play a key role in helping the EU meet its energy needs beyond 2020. With a renewable target of 27% for 2030 (and 40%+ by 2050 ) how much gas will still be needed in the EU energy mix then ? • Q2: What measures are needed to replace coal by gas in the power generation sector? • Q3: When do youthinkthe EU will really not needany (substantial amountsof) gas in theenergy mix anymore ?

  20. Panel 1: What is the role of Gas in today’s EU energy mix? Does it need to reinvent itself? CERRE, June 14, 2016, W. Boltz • Q4:: In their ‘Green Transition’ scenario of the TYNDP ENTSOG projects a gas demand for power generation of 167-232 bcm in 2035 (95 in 2015/154 in 2010) What would need to change in the EU energy market for this to happen ?

  21. Panel 2: What would reinvention look like for Gas? CERRE, June 14, 2016, W. Boltz Questions: • Q1: Howcould a longtermviewofthe EU energymarketlook like with a sizableshareofgas • Q2: Howcould gas attain a majorrole in transport? Andwhen? • Q3: Isthereanything (besides ECS) thatcouldincreasetheattractivenessof gas vs. coal? • Q4: Whyisthere so littlepolicysupportforthelongtermuseof gas?
