This presentation will cover:

The Crown Estates remit and responsibilities with regards to offshore

wind, wave and tidal, carbon capture and natural gas storage

What the offshore wind, wave and tidal programmes look like the

opportunity for development

The future new technologies, need for Government support,generating new industries


3/23

The Marine Estate

Energy sectors include offshore wind, wave and tidal, natural

gas storage, CO2 transport and storage

Traditional sectors include coastal assets, aquaculture,

minerals, pipelines and cables

The marine estate promotes the sustainable developmentof the marine environment in line with government policy

Introduction to wave and tidal energy

Electricity can be generated from ocean waves and tides in several

different ways

Tidal

Wave

Waves acting on the seasurface (kinetic energy)

Tidal stream

Flowing tidal waters(kinetic energy)

Tidal range

Water impounded duringtides (potential energy)

Pelamis Wave

Power

Marine Current

Turbines

EDF (La Rance)


8/23

Various estimates suggest wave and tidal could contribute significantly to

global and UK electricity demands

Global UK

Wave energy resources hold

potential for hundreds of GW

projects, and tidal at least tens of

GW

Long term, potential market of tens

$bn/year in project capital

investments

Potential to meet significant

proportion of national electricity

demand, e.g.

Wave and tidal stream: Up to 20%UK demand across many UK sites

Tidal range: 5% UK demand in

one large Barrage scheme alone

Introduction to wave and tidal energy


9/23

Wave and Tidal Programme

The Crown Estate is interested in future deployment of wave and tidal

projects at scale

In future, wave and tidal projects could be of similar scale to offshore wind

farms (100s of MW or more)

At present, we are aiming to support growth of emerging wave and tidal

industry, to further develop technologies and prepare for future commercial

deployments


10/23

Our activities are aiming to attract investment and encourage industry

growth

Leasing areas of seabed for

wave or tidal energy projects

Supporting project

development through

coordination with developers

and investment in enabling

actions

Engaging in policy discussions

to facilitate project consents,

grid access and financing

Main activities

Actively support growth of

emerging industry

Attract significant investment

to sector

Encourage major players to

commit to development

Key objectives

Pentland Firth and Orkney waters

We have leased 11 projects with 1,600 MW total potential capacity

UK flagship portfolio of wave and

tidal stream projects

Located off Caithness, North

Sutherland and around Orkney Isles

11 projects with 1,600 MW totalpotential capacity

Developer plans to install entire

capacity by 2020, contingent on

range of factors

The Crown Estate is investing 5.7min enabling actions work to

accelerate and de-risk development Pentland Firth and Orkney waterscommercial project sites


12/23

Ongoing activities

We are currently leasing sites for demonstration projects, focusing on

delivery of the Pentland Firth and planning future commercial leasing

Short term

Now

Medium term

Next five years

Long term

Next 10+ years

Leasing sites around UK

to support technology

testing and

demonstration activities

Helping overcome key

obstacles to project

development

Focusing on delivery of

Pentland Firth portfolio,

with developers making

first phase installations

Leasing and supporting

development of further

commercial sites

Enabling large-scale

developments in various

parts of UK waters,

comparable to offshore

wind today, contingent

on continuing market

interest

Offshore Wind: The Future

Round 4? - Round 3 is the future!

New technologies: new capabilities....floatingwind?

2009

First floating wind turbine wastransported off the coast of Norway

Flotation element stretches 100mbelow the surface

Anchored to the seabed in 3 places

It can be moored up to waters 700mdeep fixed turbines at present arebeing developed to sit in water depthsup to 60m

Carbon Capture and Natural Gas Storage

COURTESY OF CENTRICA

The Crown Estate has been leasing Natural Gas Storage

at the Centrica Rough Field since 1983


18/23

Introduction into Carbon Capture and

Natural Gas Storage

Capture CO2 and transportto a storage site to injectunderground

Unlike Natural Gas Storage,

many of the components ofCCS have been around formany years but end-to-endprocess has yet to bedemonstrated all togetherThe Carbon Trust

Natural Gas Storage: Similar to the process of storing CO2,but with other gases such as Methane

Allows regulation of the Natural Gas market

Commercially useful: store when prices are low, extract when

prices are high

Work with government to facilitatedeployment of non-commercialdemonstration projects

Prepare for competitive leasing andproject selection beyond the

demonstration programme

The UK Demonstration Programme

COURTESY OF SCOTTISH POWER

Through 2010-11 The Crown Estate

has been developing storage

agreements for demonstration

projects.

Currently exclusive options and

rights are only granted to winners

of publicly funded and selected

competitions.

Competitions include UK Demo 1,EEPR, NER300, UK Demo 2-4
