🔗 Looking forward to this session at Gastech 2024, where industry changemakers and pioneers will explore the future of U.S. LNG exports and the broader global supply landscape. My panel will address the anticipated growth in U.S. LNG trade driven by new projects coming online by 2025, while also looking at the challenges of a tight supply forecast for 2024. 🌱 Hear about critical strategies for expediting LNG project development, enhancing energy security, introducing innovative solutions and investment approaches to overcome commercial and regulatory obstacles to ensure that the LNG industry remains agile, competitive, and sustainable. ⚡Jason Klein, LNG Canada ⚡Benjamin Dell, Kimmeridge ⚡Bhupesh Thakkarm, Bechtel Corporation ⚡Payvand Fazel, Williams ⚡Stan Chapman, TC Energy ⚡Tush Doshi, Kent #Gastech #Gastech2024 #EnergyTransition #Innovation #Sustainability #NetZero #EnergyPolicy #LNG #Hydrogen #ClimateAction dmg events: Energy Portfolio

  🔍 How has natural gas shaped Europe's energy landscape?   This morning I had the pleasure of giving MEP Assistants in the European Parliament an introduction to natural gas in Europe. From coal gas streetlights in 1812 to today's massive LNG imports, Europe's relationship with natural gas has evolved quite a bit, to say the least. Key milestones:   19th Century: 🔸 1812: First use of coal gas in London for street lighting 🔸 1840s: Gas lighting spreads across Europe Post-WWII Boom: 🔸 1945-1960: Gas demand surges with residential heating 🔸 Major gas fields discovered in the Netherlands (Groningen) and France (in Lacq, near my hometown!) Growth & Integration: 🔸 1970s-1990s: Pipelines bring gas from Soviet fields to Western Europe Modern Era: 🔸 2021: Russian gas accounts for 45% of European imports 🔸 2022-2023: LNG accounts for 45% of EU gas imports   So many things have changed over these two centuries. Yet one thing remains the same: the versatility of Gas, which is still today Europe’s 2nd energy source.   I’m grateful to the European Energy Forum for the opportunity Pascale Verheust Alessia Pasqua and Camilla Montemurro) and to our industry friends for their contributions to this great briefing GRTgaz Eurogas Snam S.p.A.

Germany’s Federal Network Agency has approved transmission system operators’ (TSOs) applications to build the country’s 9,000km hydrogen core network (HCN), allowing for construction to begin. Set to cover Germany by 2032, the approved network comprises 9,040km of pipelines; 60% of which will be converted natural gas lines, requiring an estimated €18.9bn ($20.4bn) of investment. Planned to connect production centres, import areas, storage facilities and end-users, by 2032, the network’s feed-in capacity will be 101GW of hydrogen, with a feed-out capacity of 87GW. “With the approved core network, we are creating security for everyone involved – from hydrogen producers at home and abroad to the operators of power plants and storage facilities and future industrial users,” said Economic Affairs and Climate Protection Minister, Robert Habeck. https://lnkd.in/eahFyhcq

The core #Hydrogen network with a total #9700 km length connecting all federal #German states with important hydrogen infrastructure will connect central hydrogen locations such as large industrial centers, storage facilities, power plants and import corridors.

“AFC Energy-led consortium awarded GBP676,500, to integrate its proprietary ammonia cracker reactor technology” “AFC Energy PLC – provider of #hydrogenpowergeneration technologies – Says it has been awarded funding under the UK Government’s Clean Maritime Demonstration Competition, which is funded by the UK Department for Transport and delivered by Innovate UK. A consortium led by AFC has been awarded GBP676,500, in order to design and integrate its proprietary #ammoniacrackerreactor technology with #marine purposed, #ammoniafuelledinternalcombustionengines. Funding starts in the first quarter, with results from the proof-of-concept demonstration expected to be published twelve months later.” “Chief Executive Adam Bond says: “We are pleased to have been recognised, along with our partners, by the UK Government’s CMDC4 funding programme, highlighting further commercialization potential for our next generation #ammoniacracker reactor. AFC Energy has been engaging with international shipyards, vessel owners, and designers over the past year and we believe the adoption of #ammonia as a #decarbonisation #maritimefuel is yet another international market for our highly efficient ammonia cracker reactor.”” https://lnkd.in/eKwFVf4E?

27 September 2024 FEnEx CRC Monthly Colloquium: "Options for LNG plant decarbonisation" presented by Dr Luke McElroy and Dr Mauricio Di Lorenzo. About the topic: Reforms to the Australian Government's Safeguard Mechanism legislation in 2023 introduced the concept of declining baselines. Under the Safeguard Mechanism, Australia's large industrial facilities are required to keep emissions below a facility-specific baseline, which declines to zero emissions by 2050. Carbon credits must be used by the emitter to offset any emissions above its baseline, while emitting below baseline generates credits for the emitter. For an existing LNG plant, using technology to meet a baseline that eventually reaches zero requires large-scale plant modifications in the areas of carbon capture, alternative fuels, and electrification. These technologies are at different levels of readiness for deployment at large scale and need to be evaluated against the alternative of offsetting emissions. This presentation is an overview of the 2024 FEnEx CRC Commonwealth milestone report Short- and long-term options for LNG plant decarbonisation. The presentation will discuss large-scale decarbonisation solutions available for existing LNG plants, the technical readiness of these solutions, notable instances where they have been tested, and the degree of decarbonisation they will provide. #decarbonisation #gas #energy Luke McElroy Mauricio Di Lorenzo Eric May Mary Hackett

I have oral presentation in the #ICER2024 at sharif university of technology with the topic related to using smal scale LNG plants as an energy storage system.

💡Is Eskom blowing the diesel budget to keep the loadshedding wolf at bay?💡 We looked at the data for the Open Cycle Gas Turbines (OCGTs), specifically the period from April 2024 when loadshedding stopped. Here’s what we found:  https://lnkd.in/gxY8Mgx3 Between 1 April and 31 August 2024, the OCGTs generated 510 GWh of electricity. That’s not nothing, but it’s a lot less than the same period in 2023, when the OCGTs produced 2 359 GWh of electricity.

Germany is planning to establish a core #hydrogen fuel network covering a distance of over 9,700 km (6,000 miles) at an estimated cost of approximately 20 billion euros ($21 billion) by 2032. This network will rely on existing natural gas pipelines for about 60% of its infrastructure, connecting ports, industries, storage facilities, and power plants. The project will be PRIVATELY financed, and the aim is to expand hydrogen usage to decarbonize polluting industrial sectors, such as steel and chemicals, which are challenging to electrify.

🐸 Leapfrogging: #Hydrogen core network decided 🇩🇪🇪🇺 ↗️ A big step forward for Europe’s #hydrogen sector: The 🇩🇪 German Federal Network Agency has approved a core network spanning 9,040 kilometers. 👍 About 60% of the pipelines will be converted from existing natural gas infrastructure, while the rest will be newly constructed. 👍 By 2032, the network will have a feed-in capacity of 101 GW and a feed-out capacity of 87 GW, making it the largest hydrogen pipeline system worldwide. 💶 The 15 transmission system operators (TSOs) responsible for building and operating the network will invest €18.9 billion, with the project set for completion in 2032. 🗽 This is a monumental milestone for the hydrogen development in Europe as it constitutes the basis of the European backbone. 🫶 🎯 Hydrogen happens‼️ FNB Gas e.V.
