Natural gas in The Barents Sea – New opportunitets in The North

Why LNG - Liquefied Natural Gas ?

• Cooled down to -163 degrees C, liquid

• Volume less than 1/600

• Looks like water

LNG is a transport solution for natural gas

4

LNG

1. Transportation without pipelines – truck, boat, train with isolated tanks

2. Flexible distribution to areas without pipelines

3. Storage in special isolated tanks

5

Natural gas can be used as:

•Fuel for ships, cars and buses – Engine and tank for gas use

•Energy in industrial production or mining industries – Heating, steam or drying processes

•Electricity

6

Natural gas – reduced emissions compared to oil and coal

•25 % reduced CO2-emissions (50% compared to coal) •75-90 % reduced NOx-emissions compared to oil •No sulfur or dust emissions

7

Natural gas or biogas? - Yes, please, I take both!

• Natural gas and biogass; both mainly methane

• Biogas very young – natural gas very old!

• Use the same equipment; burners, engines in buses and

cars

• LNG can be stored in tanks and used when necessary;

peak load for biogas

LNG-transport

2 main consepts:

Short value chain (lower investments cost): LNG-production – transportation by car - users local LNG-terminal – pipeline to

user(s)

Longer value chain (higher investment cost): LNG-production - transportation by boat – distribution HUB – transportation by

car – users local LNG-terminal – pipeline to user(s)

No definite answer; cost efficiency is depending on volume and distance

Today: Trucks from Hammerfest LNG – to customer

Later: Trucks from importterminals in Finland, Sweden or other places – to

customer

Short distance to Finland and Sweden from Hammerfest or from upcoming importterminals

Start using natural gas?

• Contract, usually long term

• BNG is responsible for the transport

• BNG usually responsible for the customer tank

• BNG responsible for routines for safety and maintenance at thecustomer terminal

15

Why change to LNG/natural gas?

• Reduced emissions compared to oil and coal

• Can be used as peak load for biogas

• Easy; energy is delivered directly to the customer

• Competitive price; volume, logistic and tank/infrastructure
