  2. 1. Introduction Algeria is a leading LPG producing country. In 2008, Algerian exports reached 7.5 million tons and domestic consumption exceeded 1.95 million tons. However, the on going policy proping up natural gas consumption has hampered the growth of LPG in particular bottled butane, a product that remains the vital source of energy in rural areas. Nevetherless, opportunities for development of the domestic market of LPG (bulk butane, bulk propane, small public distribution network of LPG and LPG auto gas) exist and can be a valuable alternative. Thanks to abundant resources and because of their properties, LPG can play a greater role in meeting energy needs in transportation, industrial and agro business sectors in the future. 22nd World LP Gas Forum, Rio de Janeiro– Brazil 7th – 9th October 2009

Place of LPG in the Algerian energy policy The consumption energy model : Rank of LPG Environment Act Natural gas & LPG Renewable and solar energies promotion Act Promotion of use of the mostavailable energy forms The Algerian energy consumption model Energy efficiency Environment protection New fuels pricing structure New tariffs on Electric power & gas Saving Energy Act (1999) Energy Auditing (déc 05-495) The SavingEnergyNationalPlan The saving Energy National Fund IntergouvernementCommetee for Saving Energy Tariff policy Strategic options Conventional fuels substitution by Widespread use of LPG Fuel 22nd World LP Gas Forum, Rio de Janeiro– Brazil 7th – 9th October 2009

  4. 3. Exports of LPG • Algerian LPG development strategy is based on : • The strengthening of its leadership on the European market in general and the Mediterranean market in particular; • The increase of its shipping capacity; • Downstream integration; • Investment in terminals & storage capacity ; • Arbitrage opportunities. Million tons 22nd World LP Gas Forum, Rio de Janeiro– Brazil 7th – 9th October 2009

  6. 4. LPG meeting energy needs in Algeria LPG in the Algerian energy chain LPG is produced in oil and gas fields, located in the southern region of Sahara. It is transported by a an extended pipelines network to separation plants in Arzew. LPG is also produced by oil refineries and LNG plants. 22nd World LP Gas Forum, Rio de Janeiro– Brazil 7th – 9th October 2009

  10. 5. LPG Market in Algeria Butane : Consumption • The Algerian butane consumption rose from 1 million tons in 1990 to 1.5 million tons in 2008. • During this period, the annual average growth rate had been 2.4%. This low growth was due mainly to rural exodus and natural gas grid expansion. • In 2008, butane represented 75 % of total LPG sales. 1000 tons 22nd World LP Gas Forum, Rio de Janeiro– Brazil 7th – 9th October 2009

  11. 5.

  13. 5. LPG Market in Algeria LPG demand 1 000 tons Bottled • Shrinking of demand for bottled butane . • Expansion of LPG consumption will be carried by propane development and LPG • fuel promotion. 22nd World LP Gas Forum, Rio de Janeiro– Brazil 7th – 9th October 2009

  14. 6. natural gas grid expansion • Sonelgaz, the public company for power generation and natural gas distribution is the main competitor for LPG distributors; • Between 2004 and 2008 : the natural gas distribution network increased by 4000 km to a total length of 27 000 km; • 2008 : natural gas grid expansion reached 30% of households. The expansion of natural gas affected negativellythe sales of LPG; especially bottled butane. • Sonelgaz had an ambitious program for the 2004-2009 time span of connecting many villages and towns to its natural gas grid; • 2012 : Sonelgaz objective is to reach up to 50 % of households. 22nd World LP Gas Forum, Rio de Janeiro– Brazil 7th – 9th October 2009
