1.12  Why to participate in European Projects

• LEGAL
• In some States is a regulated sectoral activity, to foster the
personnel training and education programmes, and develop
R&D in matters related to environment protection, or in
safety and security issues, or in the University sector

• COMMERCIAL
• the market research and knowledge on potential trade
partners participating also in R&D activities, cooperation
networks, associations and other entities related to the core
activity or to new activities of the interested party..

• TECHNOLOGY
• to reach the cutting edge in port technologies related with
safety, security, environment, energy, information society,
electronic commerce, space applications, logistic, intermodal,
maritime transport or any other knowledge.

• IMAGE
• to improve the public and perceived image. A good
media understanding improves social and political
support and perception, to balance the industrial
activities with a negative image.

1.22    Technology and Market pull projects

Two broad classes of instruments can be used to accelerate innovation, demonstration and
deployment of low‐carbon technologies. First, market pull instruments mainly address the positive
externalities of clean energy production and shall incentivize deployment of and innovation in low‐
carbon technologies.

Second, technology push mainly targets the correction of positive externalities related to spillover
effects during the innovation process. Besides monetary transfers, technology push might also shift
financial risks from entrepreneurs to public authorities by guaranteeing financial support in case
research for innovation does not turn out to be successful or scalable for market implementation.

3.1  LNG value chain

The term LNG refers to Liquefied Natural Gas, which is Natural Gas that cooled down and
converted into a liquid state. This is done to facilitate the process of transportation, and to
be able to deliver larger quantities.

The value chain includes all the facility and equipment involved in extracting natural gas
from underground reservoir, liquefying it, and transporting it to the end user. The value
chain is typically long in terms of distance and expensive in terms of the capital cost of
equipment and facility involved.
3.2  LNG value network

There are several options to route LNG through the value network. One option is to start at a
large scale liquefaction facility loading LNG either into conventional LNG carriers, small scale
carriers (up to 30,000 m3 ) or trucks/rail cars with end users or distributors as destination.

Depending on the choices made for routing the LNG through the small scale LNG value network,
several parties will play a role in the process.
3.3  LCA : LNG life cycle assessment

“LCA studies the environmental impacts and potential impacts throughout a product’s 
life (i.e., cradle to grave) from raw material acquisition through production, use, and 
disposal. The general categories of environmental impacts needing consideration 
include resource use, human health, and ecological consequences

3.14  Evolution of European gas supply
3.15  Evolution of European gas prices
3.16  Key implications in LNG market 2015

• In the short term, global gas demand growth is likely to remain moderate. The European market 
will continue to suffer from strong competition with coal and renewables + slowdown in Chinese 
gas demand growth 

• Uncertainties on the future evolution of the well‐supplied LNG market and international prices 
until 2020 (demand in price‐sensitive emerging markets …) 

• Increasing pressure to cut subsidies in emerging markets in order to increase supply for a more 
viable development of natural gas in the long term 

• Recent structural and not temporary factors which could affect long term gas demand growth, 
such as the competition with other energy fuels (coal)

• Energy policies and general environmental regulations will thus be critical factors influencing 
natural gas demand (China) 

• The Asian market will keep a major influence on the global LNG market
