SLIDE 12/19 / JANUARY 2010 Strategic value
Strategic value of the project It will improve the security of gas supply ensuring the transportation of 8 bcm of Algerian natural gas in the Italian and European markets It significally contributes to the growing demand of natural gas in the European Union It is an alternative source of competition directly aimed at the centre of Italian demand It will allow the upgrading of Sardinia energy infrastructure which up to now lacks a national gas distribution network and it will encourage a consequent economic growth It has been included by the EU among the 5 priority assets for the development of the Trans-European energy network It will contribute positively at the Kyoto protocol implementation for the safeguard of the environment SLIDE 13/19 / JANUARY 2010
Strategic value of the project Gas demand EU 30 (Bmc) 563 CAGR 1.1% -1.7% 650-700 Import gap (Bmc)? 133-183 267 Import ~47% 400-450 Import ~62% -64% 267 Others Nigeria Algeria 400-450 296 250 Russia 2007 2020 2007 gas import 2007-2020 Import gap 2020 gas import Domestic production Import SLIDE 14/19 / JANUARY 2010
Strategic value of the project Present system Future integrated system SLIDE 15/19 / JANUARY 2010
Advantages for local economic systems Sardinia's energy procurement mix is dominated by oil (74%) and coal (23%), the most polluting of the fossil fuels. 44% of its energy is consumed by industry, in particular the high energy-intensive sectors (40%) The Galsi pipeline will grant:» availability of natural gas for domestic and industrial use and for the production of electricity through further development of the distribution network» positive effects for local entrepreneurial opportunities both in the phase of the pipeline construction and in the management of the gas pipeline infrastructure and network» participation of the Region in a strategic project for the supply of natural gas in Europe SLIDE 16/19 / JANUARY 2010
Advantages for local economic systems The Galsi Pipeline has been included in Tuscany's Regional Energy Plan and recognised as strategic and essential for the fulfilment of the region's future energy goals The Galsi pipeline will bring several advantages for Tuscany such as: positive impacts for the region's economy and social development diversification of energy sources providing an incentive for methane and a lower use of the more polluting fossil fuels greater security of energy supply for Tuscany incentive to switch from oil to a more eco-sustainable system SLIDE 17/19 / JANUARY 2010
