2 8. Environmental impact Source : PGCA, life cycle analysis Life Cycle Analysis approach Impact effect for each step of the chain ( including uses) Greenhouse gases and others emissions Water management Energy efficiency (for all the chain) Gas advocacy

3 Natural Gas with or w/o CCS: Cleanest fossil fuel for power generation Metric Tons CO 2 per MWH 1 0,75 Oil (0.80) Coal (0.85) 0,5 0,25 0 * With CCS Solar Nuclear Wind (0) Source: IGU based on CERA Clean Natural Gas* (0.04) Clean Coal* (0.09) GHG Emissions 3 Natural Gas (0.35)

4 Natural Gas fired generation: Smallest ecological footprint for power generation Acres 40,000 Land use in acres to have 1,000 MW of capacity Solar 10,000 Wind 10 Natural Gas Source: based on data from Union Gas Ltd. 4

5 5 Gas: Cleanest Fossil Fuel Lowest emission of CO2 Emission of CO 2 (in kg CO 2 /MWh) Lignite-fired power 1,200 (34 ) Hard coal-fired power Gas-fired CCGT 350 (10) 850 (23 ) Source: US Department of Energy (DOE), US Energy Information Administration (EIA)

7 Steps of the natural gas chain modeled with the main trade movements in Europe Production Treatment Transmission by pipeline from producing countries Transport by LNG tanker Gasification Storage National transmission (high pressure) 1.7% National distribution (low pressure) 1 MJ of distributed NG 7
