RATIONALE FOR LNG MASTERPLAN

Environmental drivers LNG as fuel reduces air emissions (-10-20% CO2, -80-90% NOx, almost zero PM & SOx)

Further CO2 reduction possible by “blending” (balance) with BIO-LNG

Economic driversPrice gap Gasoil - LNG and estimated price reduction for LNG due to massive production increase; favourable payback time of investment; significant reduction in fuel consumption; fuel cost savings result into higher profitability/lower transport costs

LNG as cargo will increase transport volumes and will offer energy cost savings to many industries along the Rhine-Main-Danube axis; reduces oil dependency and supports diversification of energy mix

Regulations(Draft) Directive on Deployment of Alternative Fuels Infrastructure (COM 2013 18/2) demands implementation of LNG infrastructure

Future air emission regulation: “LNG most effective measure to reach Stage IV for medium and large inland vessels” (NAIADES 2/Panteia-NEA report)

Implementation of LNG requires co-ordination of public and private actions, a critical mass of initial investment along supply chains and public financial support

EUROPEAN FRAMEWORK – IT IS THE RIGHT TIME TO ACT!

Several initiatives to use LNG as fuel for maritime vessels due to forthcoming ECA & SECA regulation

Built-up of basic LNG infrastructure in Northern Europe

First LNG fuelled vessels on Rhine based on derogations from technical provisions (RVIR/Directive 2006/87/EC) and ADN (transport of dangerous goods)

Incomplete regulatory framework and lack of guidelines for use as vessel fuel, transportation, bunkering and storage of LNG hampes fast deployment together with supply restrictions

Key LNG technology available on market - but still very expensive

High potentials for use of LNG in road transport sector Example: 6.000 trucks in US, 4.000 in China, 300 in Europe but strong efforts to increase number (e.g. NGVA Europe activities)

EU program period 2014-2020 will offer new opportunitiesCEF- Connecting Europe Facility, Structural Funds, Horizon 2020

LNG MASTERPLAN - OBJECTIVES

Identify and quantify pioneer markets and customers in the hinterland of inland ports

Analyse costs and savings/benefits of LNG use

Transfer know how from maritime into inland navigation sector and raise awareness

Facilitate the creation of a harmonised European regulatory framework considering LNG as fuel and as cargo for inland navigation

Deliver technical concepts for new and retrofitted vessels

Elaborate supply chains to reach end-consumer

Execute pilot deployments of vessels and terminals

Develop a comprehensive strategy with a detailed roadmap for the implementation of LNG in line with the EU policies in transport, energy and environment

Prepare wide-scale deployment with the help of CEF & other EU programs

BEYOND THE LNG MASTERPLAN

The LNG Masterplan generates a first strategy, pilot deployments, a knowledge basis and a critical mass of stakeholders in the Rhine-Main-Danube region.

Full exploitation of LNG potentials requires parallel/follow-up actions such as:TEN-T Preparatory Action for road & IWT sector similar to maritime sector, providing market intelligence, awareness actions and integrative gap studies

Integration of Preparatory Actions into a LNG-Strategy Initiative for the entire European transport sector (including LNG fuelled machinery & equipment)

Creation of European LNG technology industry cluster facilitating growth of LNG technology providers in line with raising demand and strengthening their competitiveness

Adequate industry support measures: LNG will trigger multi-billion Euro investments which is opportunity for European industry to grow and to create jobs, e.g. European shipyards

Dedicated LNG technology agenda in Horizon 2020 with projects in for first calls 2014 & 2015

Flagship implementation project for IWT sector in CEF Call 2014

Similar lead projects for road, maritime and equipment sector with a co-ordination for synergies

The market-oriented concept of TEN-T innovation and the possibility of Studies with integrated pilot deployment correspond to the needs of the private industry.

It must be followed in the CEF with dedicated attention to project selection mechanism, increased flexibility in project implementation and the need of higher co-finance for integrative (gap) research studies.

CONCLUSIONS

LNG is the most relevant alternative fuel for inland navigation offering high environmental and economic benefits. Use of LNG supports major EU transport, environment and energy policy objectives

Only inland vessels can deliver high volumes of LNG cost-effectively from seaside import terminals to the economic heartlands of Europe. The barging sector therefore is pioneer consumer of LNG and enabler of LNG supply

Inland terminals will functions as satellites to the hinterland enabling to reach other pioneer markets like public transport and heavy duty transport sector

Rhine/Meuse-Danube axis will serve as main European LNG artery contributing to a more balanced European energy mix

LNG Masterplan breaks up the chicken and egg situation and prepares sector for wide-scale deployment in follow-up EU projects. Public financial support is essential as well as supply chain approach involving end-consumers

European LNG technology industry cluster will support implementation and facilitates economic growth and job creation

CEF - Connecting Europe Facility will have to play a key role for further implementation; Horizon 2020 shall provide a dedicated LNG research agenda
