2 Natural Gas: Proven Paths to Clean, Reliable & Affordable Energy Long-range resources: ensuring security of supply (for more than 250 years) Facts & Figures* Availability: 250 years Security of transport: grid + LNG Diversity: D, N, NL, RUS Affordability: 6 Cent/kWh Lowest emissions: ~ 200 g/kwh Acceptance: 40 mill. houses * (German perspective) Generation with low CO 2 emissions: gas fired power plants Affordable & flexible: power and heat via CHP for commerce and industry Matching supply and demand: huge energy storages Domestic appliances: comfortable heating & cooking 2

3 Integration of Renewables and Increase of Enduse Efficiency Facts & Figures* Condensing boilers in place: ~ 3 mill many in combination with solar panels many in combination with heat pumps Gas heat pumps in market since 2009 Rise in efficiency obtained: ~ 30% * (German perspective) 3 Increasing the share of renewables: condensing boiler combined with solar; gas heat pump 3

4 Natural Gas Renews Itself and Improves its Carbon Footprint 100% compatible renewable: biomethane Sustainable mobility: CNG & Bio CNG Facts & Figures* Biomethane plants in operation: ~ 70 Annual production in 2011: 5 TWh Production target 2020: 60 TWh Achievable CO 2 footprint: 50 g/kwh Biomethane is storable Biomethane is fully compatible with NG Biomethane is ideal for clean transport * (German perspective) 4 4

5 Another Green Gas by Storing Excess Power from Renewables Future option: natural gas to store excess wind power Facts & Figures* More than 20 power-to-gas projects NG grid offers the largest storage capacity Direct injection of hydrogen up to several % Methanation enables recycling of CO 2 * (German perspective) 5 5

6 Natural Gas A Pillar of the Future Distributed Energy System Distributed & smart: µchp, fuel cells, virtual power plants & integrating renewables 6 6

7 Biomethane 0 Green house gas reduction [g CO 2 eq /kwh, Hs] Power production -124 CHP Heating Mobility -200 Green gas climate benefit Improvements & Trends Residual biomass: no seeding, very high GHG reduction Woody biomass: Unused residual wood or straw for SNG production; conversion via thermo-chemical gasification Challenge/Outlook Cost competitiveness to natural gas A growth oriented EU energy policy is lacking (e.g. for heating) 7

8 Distributed Generation Fluctuation meets flexibility Heating systems that produce electricity and stabilize the DSO grid Improvements & Trends The fuel cells being developed Fuel cells and VPP Efficiency can convert up to 60 percent of the energy chemically bound up in natural gas into electricity. Boiler CB Heat Pump µchp FC Challenge/Outlook Unlocking of renewal blockage in private household segment Distributed generation must become a pillar of an EU energy policy since large scale power plants are facing the end of their life time 8

9 Gas Mobility Diesel mitengine with 100 Partiklelfilter particulate filter 90 Diesel engine Gasoline Benzin engine 60 direct Direkteinspritzer injection 50 Gasoline Benzin engine 40 Natural Erdgas gas or 30 biomethane ,4 2,9 1,2 0,4 0 67,1 9 9,1 CO 2, particles and NO x emissions from natural gas are the lowest CNG at competitive price 4,7 Improvements & Trends LNG mobility for heavy duty trucks & ships Power-to-gas mobility Challenge/Outlook Volvo FM Methane-Diesel drives with LNG up to 1000 km (Photo: Volvo Trucks) "Developing innovative and alternative fuels is an obvious way to make Europe's economy more resource efficient, to reduce our overdependence on oil and develop a transport industry which is ready to respond to the demands of the 21st century." (EC Vice President Siim Kallas responsible for Transport) 9

10 Power-to-Gas EON (Falkenhagen) P2G to store excess energy P2G to debottleneck the power grid RWE (Niederaußen) Krajete, Viessmann AUDI, EWE (Werlte) CO 2 H 2 Power-to-Gas CH4 P2G to feed biological methanation thüga (Frankfurt) Wind-projekt (Werder/Kessin) P2G to generate emission-free fuel P2G to recycle CO 2 P2G to green gas P2G for island mode of wind parks Challenge/Outlook Need for a EU Policy to unlock P2G 10

11 Natural Gas Industry Phases of Development Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 Access to NG Power production NG replaces coal infrastructure extension Access to new customers Industrial utilization Residential heating CNG Entrepreneurs step towards clean mobility Innovative gas appliances Competitive advantage via technologies (e.g. CB) Step 5 Step 6 Step 7 Step n Biomethane (greening of gas) Integration of renewable gas Global market Access to cheap gas LNG & unconventionals Next generation of innovations Convergence of power & gas (µchp) hybrid systems (heat pump, NG & solar) Future options CNG trucks; LNG mobility Fuel cells Gas to store power (P2G) Hythane, SNG We are here in Europe Energy technologies and innovation are providing the options for higher efficiency, less emissions and convergence with power & renewables. The future European Energy Policy has to turn these options into reality. 11
