  1. POLAND 2006 Thematic Seminar: Energy Supply and Environmental Impacts How can indigenous energy resources in Poland and Norway effect EU policy-making pertaining to European energy initiatives? Prof. Jerzy Buzek, Member for the European Parliament, Committee of Industry, Research and Energy Raporteur for 7th Framework Programme and the former Prime Minister of Poland Wednesday 18 October 2006

  2. The problem started: In the 60s and 70s of XX th century Energy crisis: oil (and gas) shortages Ecological crisis: enormous environmental disasters in Europe after 200 years of heavy exploitation

  3. Demands:doubling in 30 – 40 years Primary resources:Renewables, Fossil Fuels, Nuclear (coal, oil, gas) The goals for the EU: security of supplyenvironmental protection competitive costs (Lisbon Agenda)

  5. Main Energy Resources: Fossil Fuels Global Challenge – CO2 Satisfy demand for energy Ensure security of supply Minimize environmental impact Competitiveness

  6. Basic Choices and Constraints on Long−Term Energy Supplies Paul B. Weisz, Physics Today, 2005 GLOBAL SCENARIOS GAS 40-60 years COAL 60-80 years OIL 20-40 years

  7. Gas as an Ally of the Environment • Gas may influence achieving the goals of the Kyoto Protocol positively, as CO2 production when burning natural gas is 25-30% lower than when burning oil products and 40-45% lower than when burning coal (although that one hasn’t had his last word yet). • Gas is often the first fuel of choice in households, trade, services and industry. Its use in the production of electric energy is still growing. • New uses, ex. in transport , LNG, LPG, will be promoted

  8. Norway 100-120 CIS 185-220 EU Production 145 Centra Asia 15-40 5-10 25-60 12-25 Middle East 85-115 16-35 Algeria Egypt 15-20 Libya Nigeria Sources : IEA, OME Possible Supply to the EU 2010-2020 (mld m³/year)

  9. Eurogas members since July 2004 30 memebers (10 national federations / 20 companies) 21 countries

  10. EU 15 Natural Gas MarketPerspectives 2003-2025

  11. The European Gas Network

  12. Poland in Europe • Immense potential for development in the Polish gas sector • The Polish market : • Households • Farms • Industry • Electric Power industry • Sector’s big potential for integration and expansion in Europe . • Poland - a transit country (still) • New infrastructure projects • Amber • Jamal II • Warehouses ex. Wierzchosławice • Dispersed power industry

  13. Political Implications • A need of new supplies • A need of new investments Conditions: - European gas companies of sufficient „critical mass” must take the risk of investing - Balance between the contract and spot markets - pro-investment and stable regulatory environment - dialogue with the main producers - suppliers

  14. Declaration The European gas sector declares the will to implement the Gas Directive, therefore accepts the creation of a common Union gas market. EUROGAS

  15. Conclusion The balance between the needs of the market and the need for investments hasn’t been created in the European gas world yet. The discussion on it is ongoing. We must take an active part in it.

  16. Contribution of Coal to Power Generation in 2003 (IEA, Electricity Information 2005)

  17. World Coal Demand by Sector (IEA WEO 2004)

  18. The Climate Change • The Climate Change problem is for real • EU ministers have agreed on, that we have to reduce the emissions to maintain a reasonable CO2 concentration in atmosphere - 15 – 30% until 2030 - 60 – 80% until 2050

  19. The Problem • Fossil fuels are needed • Analysis show that fossil fuels will remain as major energy source in 2030 (85%) • The top priority is to introduce renewable energy sources in the energy system • All analysis show that renewable energy sources will play a large role, but not large enough and soon enough • In several countries nuclear power is decommissioned • No renewable energy source not known today can play a significant role in 25 years from now, i.e. 2030 → Emissions from fossil fuels must be reduced

  20. Energy arrives in the following ETPs • Zero Emission Fossil Fuel Power Plant Technology Platform • European Hydrogen & Fuel Cell Technology Platform • Sustainable Mining and Mineral Extraction Technology Platform • Technology Platform for the Electricity Networks of the Future • Building and Construction Technology Platform

  21. Main Targets of Energy Production from Fossil Fuels • Increase efficiency of electricity production • Reduce carbon dioxide emission • Increase energy security for Europe • Support hydrogen economy development

  22. Reductions in Emissions of CO2 through Technological Innovation (IEA WEO 2004)

  23. Fuel Cells Carbon Sequestration Gasification with Cleanup Separation System Integration Optimized Turbines H2 Production

  24. Capture and storage of CO2 Capture and storage - The bridging technology to the future

  25. The synergy targets • Pan-European energy transportation grids should be treated as the tools for cutting down the cost of energy delivery • Natural gas pipelines should stabilize the long term development of post-fossil energy solutions • The European distributed energy systems need be tailored to the regional assets • Development of coal gasification technologies is necessary for highly efficient electricity generation, making the European coal to be the reserve source of synthetic natural gas and important raw material for hydrogen fuel production • Hydrogen as a common energy carrier integrating the different energy sources and zero emission fuel for transportation

  26. How can indigenous energy resources in Poland and Norway effect EU policy-making pertaining to European energy initiatives? Prof. Jerzy Buzek MEP, Committee of Industry, Research and Energy Raporteur for 7th Framework Programme Trondheim, 18 October 2006 Thank you for your attention
