Groningen gas field
Discovery of the Groninger gas field in 1959;
Largest field in Europe, ca. 2800 BCM;
Policy much focussed on a rapid depletion of thefield (substitution by nuclear);
Low cost export of gas (e.g. Italy);
Transition to natural gas: 75% of householdsconnected within 10 years, currently 98%;
District heating remained small (5%) in relationto individual gas-fired heating systems

Historic energy use
Gas accounts for 40% of national energy supply

Replacing fossil fuels
Climate change;
International agreements to cut down CO2
emissions;
Progress not on track.

Earthquakes
Induced earthquakes since 1986;
A large number of light earthquakes (on a dailybasis);
Strongest in 2012, 3.6 on the Richter scale;
Damage on constructions, psychological impact;
A big challenge for people, gas industry andgovernment.

An incentive for energy transition?
Where to begin?
Lowering gas production What is a ‘responsible’ production level?
From 54 BCM in 2013 to 24 BCM in 2016
Finding heating alternatives what is the plan for replacing natural gas?
Chicken & egg problem!

Breaking the lock-in
We never responded to an energy crisis like Denmark (oil crisis) or Germany (nuclear);
Discussion is very recent, policy needs to bedeveloped;
Traditionally, the energy market is highlycentralized, district heating is local;
Low public support (end-users);
Gas is considered a transition fuel;
Investments issue of DH.

National energy agenda
Focus on CO2 emission savings;
Decreasing the dependency of natural gas;
Large role for sustainable heating, in particular district heating with waste heat and renewable heat sources.

Policy developments
District heating law:
Regulated market, price cap regulation (since2014);
Tariffs based on natural gas price (not more than otherwise principle);
Currently under revision.

Policy developments
Municipal heating plan:
Legal possibility to exempt from theobligation for gas infrastructure in new constructions;
Limited competition of heating alternativesthrough obliged connection.
![Page 18: Transitioning beyond gas - lsta.lt › files › events › 170514_Glasgow › 32... · 38th Euroheat & Power Congress 14-16 May 2017, Glasgow, United Kingdom Organised by Breaking](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022060321/5f0d31927e708231d43921e8/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Policy developments
Other developments:
Market design, including third party access;
Making district heat competitive with gas, e.g. increasing taxes on natural gas;
Socialising the district heating networks;
New stakeholders & cooperation in the value chain.

In conclusion
Policy: creating a level playing field;
Technical: smart & sustainable DH systems embedded in the overall energy system;
Local: organization of projects.
