  1. Natural Gas Industry: a dynamic industry and a bridgehead to sustainable energy supply Auke Lont

  2. 1. INTRODUCTION • What is Natural Gas? • ‘relatively clean fuel with very low density’ • 1 m3 = 11 kWh = 1 litre LFO CH4 Typical use Not used Homeheating Transportation Power generation (liquid at – 160C) Petrochemical feedstock

  3. 2. some “ OLD TRUTHS” • 1975 Natural gas shall not be used for power generation • 1983 UK natural gas resource base rapidly declining after 1995 • 1984 USA Natural gas bubble will soon burst

  4. 2. “ OLD TRUTHS” cont. 1985 Norwegian gas production will stabilize at 40 BCM/YR 1975-95 Dutch Groningen Field will be depleted in 25 years

  5. EU DIRECTIVE 13.2.1975“restriction of use of natural gas in power stations” Whereas: Natural gas quantities available are limited Natural gas should be reserved for “premium” application

  6. EU DIRECTIVE 13.2.1975“restriction of use of natural gas in power stations” Now therefore: “ ... new contracts.., and construction of new power stations using natural gas must be subject to prior authorization... ... member states shall encourage cancellation of existing contracts for supply to power plants...”

  7. 3. Some FACTS

  8. EU DIRECTIVE 18.3.1991 • “.. whereas natural gas has specific advantages for the production of electricity in terms of limiting emissions of pollutants • .. whereas technological advantages have enabled natural gas to be used for electricity generation having advantages both of lower capital and operating costs and greater efficiency compared with units using other fuels.. • .. in view of the current developments on the gas market the restriction should not be retained..”

  13. 4. WHY ARE WE OFTEN WRONG? • “Right forces, wrong model” Environment Natural gas industry Economic growth Technology Market Reserve base Regulatory framework

  14. UNDERESTIMATE 1) Power of technology • Power of the market • Power of the environment 4) Dynamics when forces meet

  17. THE POWER OF THE MARKETderegulation UK gas industry • new supplies => new dynamics • new products UK electricity industry: natural gas substitutes coal Telecom Airline industry Interaction between markets and technology can reshape industries

  19. 5. THE ENVIRONMENTAL CHALLENGE “ How to combine the natural gas potential with global warming challenges?”
