Gas demand remains robust even with a strong climate policy
In the Sustainable Development scenario gas demand is squeezed by renewables and efficiency but gas gains market share from coal and oil

Climate policy increases the share of gas in coal heavy systems
In Europe and the US renewables squeeze gas already from 2025

Natural gas: a jack of all trades fuel
Gas can substitute for coal and complement renewables in power generation and can replace oil in industrial energy use and even in transport

A very significant investment need
Most of the investment is in upstream, but the share of pipeline infrastructure is much higher than for oil

LNG investment: past the peak?
Lack of FIDs since 2015 indicate a rapid decline of investment
Investment into LNG export facilities

What do you need for competition 1: competitors
A competitive upstream and a diversified import structure is a key condition for competition

What do you need for competition 2: infrastructure access
Policymakers need either to create financially viable ‘pure play’’ infrastructure operators or adopt intense regulatory supervision of vertically integrated entities
• Physical availability of infrastructure
• Allocation of capacity• Network tariffs• Balancing rules• Access to data

Technological innovation towards more flexible LNG markets
While large scale land based LNG will remain essential, the industry innovating towards smaller, faster solutions
Modular LNG: standardization and factory construction with flexible scale up (Elba Island, USA)
Floating LNG: Shipyard construction mitigates project management risk, flexible deployment, smaller size at 1.2 – 5 mt/year (Malaysia, Mozambique)

Gas supply security remained robust despite shocks
The increasing efficiency and liquidity of LNG markets was able to absorb geopolitical disruptions
Conflict with potential gas supply security implications
Gas production or infrastructure affected by conflict or terrorism

Market efficiency and supply security: the post Fukushima adjustment
Market based fuel switching in Europe and expanded Russian pipeline flow released LNG for Japan despite stagnating global LNG production in 2011 - 2014

Large and uncertain seasonal variation necessitates storage
Heating gas demand in Northern China will soon be too big to rely on spot LNG for seasonal flexibility

United States
• Key data– Storage capacity 156 bcm (~20% of annual gas consumption)– >120 Storage System Operators (SSO)
• Key regulations– 1992: FERC Order 636: third-party access
• Cost of service / negotiated rates– 2006: FERC Order 678: market based
rates (intrinsic and extrinsic value)
– Legal obligation for local distribution companies to supply customers, therefore high reserved use of storage (~40%) but no strategic or obligatory stock fillings

An efficient electricity market also enhances gas supply security
Market driven substitution provides large flexibility to the gas system in EU and USA, but this is declining due to coal decommissioning
