Gas: The Transition Fuel Ulco Vermeulen International Gas Union
From fossil to sustainable energy Fossil Energy Sustainable Energy Gas: a transition fuel to bridge the gap
Short term long term From efficient to sustainable gas Sustainable Gas Substitution Gas Decentralized Gas Efficient Gas
Efficient Gas • Short term realisable • Easy • Beneficial • Still major savings possible
Decentralized Gas • Already operational • Next step: bring to scale • Self sufficiency • Virtual Power Plant • Security of supply
Substitution Gas • The cleanest fossil fuel • Major carbon dioxide reduction • Short term as well as medium term • Large quantities
Sustainable Gas • Medium and long term • Biogas • Clean Gas • (Renewable) Hydrogen
Gas should bridge the gap • Sensible first steps • Ingenious developments • Long term view
Transition management: characteristics • Market and government team up together and take a course (transition path) • Along the way, the destination will form gradually • Process-driven as well as content-driven
Transition Management Gas Transition Cogeneration • 5 Areas • Gas • Integrated efficiency • Green materials • Motor fuels • Electricity • 4 Paths • Efficiency • Cogeneration • Biogas • Hydrogen Transition management: lay-out The Netherlands • 5 Projects • Micro generation (Stirling) • Virtual Power Plant • Fuel cells • Etc.
Our approach (1) • Tour d’horizon • Identify signals, similarities and impediments in the market • Workshops: which way to go • Associate parties: frontrunners • Statements leading to manifesto • Political support
Projects Arena Frontrunners think tank catalyst Long-term view director Our approach (2)
Essentials of projects • Feasibility and practicability • Coalitions • Venture capital • Technology embedded within (social) environment • Marketing • Sensible and ingenious (not always simplicity)
An example: Virtual Power Plant • Micro cogeneration units • 1.000 units to be installed • Link units into virtual power plant Issues also of organisational nature: • Value of produced electricity • Interest of general public • Contracts, metering, control, etc.
