液化天然气作为运输燃料将有助于优化绿化重型运输在荷兰

引进的LNG（液化天然气）清洁燃料作为替代品，公路运输，内河运输和沿海运输，预计会带来一个额外的欧元2.7亿元（USD 3.55亿元）现在到2030年之间在经济增长和8000人年在荷兰，根据经济部委托的一项调查显示。因此，液化天然气的发展是具有重要战略意义的荷兰运输部门。它提供了荷兰的机会，以加强其天然气枢纽的地位，并促进投资和创造新的就业机会。

这些都是“ 莱茵河和瓦登绿色新政 “的一部分，由罗兵咸永道会计师事务所进行的一项调查得出的结论。绿色新政涉及到政府和企业，以及研究和教育机构，旨在推动绿色增长的合作伙伴关系。今天，全国LNG平台评估结果，并提出了新的举措。一年后开始的绿色新政，新的液化天然气生产链运行起来：

• 7个LNG加气站运作。
• 100 LNG卡车的道路上。
• 2 LNG内河船舶服务。
• 1小规模LNG油轮服务。
• 为船舶燃料装舱站是可操作的。
• 鹿特丹是欧洲第一个端口引进LNG立法

GER·范通厄伦董事长一岁的全国LNG平台：“有巨大的机遇。为了充分利用他们，应该协调发展需求和供给。此外，它需要大量的投资。这涉及全面链：液化天然气输送到我国的船舶和交付的栅极端子马斯弗拉克特。通过一个较小的终端，它被抽入罐车或燃料的船舶，随后运送LNG加油站或加油站，卡车和轮船加油。它的妙处，是在我们的平台上表示，整个产业链。绿色新政进一步实现与中央政府合作，跨多个部门。例如，随着消费税LNG货运方面，我们希望有一个解决方案，计划增加消费税，不久。“

在环境方面的考虑该地区的环境，有机遇和挑战。从2014年（公路运输）和2015年（沿海交通），交通运输部门将面临收紧的法规旨在大幅减排。液化天然气（LNG）是可能比其他类型的燃料更清洁，更安静。国家液化天然气平台目前一些生态和环保组织进行谈判，以达成协议，以确保使用液化天然气作为运输燃料将有助于优化重型运输在荷兰的绿化。合作伙伴正在这个方向的第一步，发起一项联合研究，以确定在何种程度上使用LNG可导致净环境效益的各个界别分组。合作伙伴正在决定对协议 ​​涵盖的主题，如所需的最低限度的二氧化碳排放量减少和液化天然气的附加 ​​值减少的氮氧化物，硫氧化物，颗粒物和噪声排放。一个重要条件就是减少甲烷打滑。大量减少二氧化碳排放，可实现通过使用LNG生物。此外，它是极为重要的，以确保LNG的引入发生在外部安全的先决条件遵守。在过去的一年里，这些都是与有关各方合作，基础设施和环境部审查。

LNG as a transport fuel will contribute optimally to the greenification of heavy transport in the Netherlands

The introduction of LNG (liquefied natural gas) as an alternative, cleaner fuel for road transport, inland waterway transport and coastal shipping is expected to bring an extra EUR 2.7 billion (USD 3.55 billion) in economic growth and 8,000 man years between now and 2030 in the Netherlands, according to a survey commissioned by the Ministry of Economic Affairs. The development of LNG is therefore of strategic importance to the Dutch transport sector. It offers the Netherlands opportunities to reinforce its gas hub position and to boost investments and create new jobs.

These are the conclusions of a survey that was conducted by PwC as part of the ‘Rhine and Wadden Green Deal’. The Green Deal involves a partnership between the government and business as well as research and educational institutes, aiming to promote green growth. Today, the National LNG Platform evaluated the results and presented new initiatives. One year after the start of the Green Deal, the new LNG chain is up and running:

• 7 LNG fuelling stations are operational.
• 100 LNG trucks are on the road.
• 2 LNG inland vessels are in service.
• 1 small-scale LNG tanker ship is in service.
• A bunkering station for ships is operational.
• Rotterdam is the first European port to introduce LNG legislation

Ger van Tongeren, chairman of the one-year-old National LNG Platform: ‘There are huge opportunities. In order to capitalize on them, the development of demand and supply should be coordinated. Furthermore, it requires substantial investments. This involves a comprehensive chain: LNG is transported to our country by ship and delivered to the Gate terminal at the Maasvlakte. Through a smaller terminal, it is pumped into tank trucks or bunker ships, that subsequently transport the LNG to fuelling stations or bunkering stations, where trucks and ships refuel. The beauty of it is that the entire chain is represented in our Platform. The Green Deal furthermore enables collaboration with the central government, across several Departments. With respect to excise duty on LNG for freight transport, for instance, we expect to have a solution available for the planned excise duty increase shortly.’

Environment
In the area of environmental considerations, there are opportunities and challenges as well. Starting from 2014 (road transport) and 2015 (coastal traffic), the transport sector will be confronted with tightened regulations aimed at substantial emissions reductions. LNG is potentially cleaner and quieter than other types of fuel. The National LNG Platform is currently conducting talks with a number of ecological and environmental protection organizations in order to reach agreements to ensure that the use of LNG as a transport fuel will contribute optimally to the greenification of heavy transport in the Netherlands. The partners are taking a first step in this direction by initiating a joint study to identify the extent to which the use of LNG can lead to net environmental benefits in the various subsectors. The partners are currently deciding on agreements covering topics such as the minimum required CO2 emission reduction and the added value of LNG in reducing the levels of NOx, SOx, particulate matter and noise emissions. An important condition is the reduction of methane slip. Substantial CO2 emission reduction can be achieved by the use of Bio-LNG. In addition, it is of vital importance to ensure that the introduction of LNG takes place in compliance with the preconditions for external safety. In the past year, these were examined by the Ministry of Infrastructure and the Environment in cooperation with the parties involved.

New initiatives

• The Gate terminal of Vopak and Gasunie is ready to receive, load and unload small LNG carriers, that will transport LNG to the distribution points and bunkering ships. In the past weekend, the first 7,000-ton LNG carrier (Coral Energy) was unloaded. Approximately by the end of the year, it will be possible to load trucks with LNG destined for roadside fuelling stations.
• Shell has recently commissioned the Greenstream, the first fully LNG-powered inland navigation tanker ship. A second, similar tanker ship will follow suit in September. In the Netherlands, Shell plans to realize up to seven LNG fuelling stations for freight traffic.
• Eneco has signed an agreement to start supplying so-called ‘small-scale LNG’ from the second half of 2013. The loading of the vessels will take place at the Gate terminal, which is a novelty for this terminal. Further details will be announced in a separate press release by Eneco.
• The Port of Amsterdam has recently joined the National LNG Platform and will start to accommodate bunkering from shoreside as from September 2013. The port of Amsterdam will continue to develop into a production location for Bio-LNG.
• Rotterdam is the first European port where inland vessels can officially bunker LNG. For this purpose, the Port Management Bye-law was amended in order to encourage inland vessels to use LNG as a cleaner type of fuel. The City of Rotterdam and the Port of Rotterdam Authority, part of the Rotterdam Climate Initiative, have joined forces and actively pursued this goal.
• GDF SUEZ invests in the entire LNG chain, ranging from fuel stations, bunkering facilities and technical solutions to the supply of LNG to customers. The first public station is currently in the process of being commissioned, and will be able to provide continuous supply for sixteen trucks. A second (mobile) station is ready to start providing flexible service to new customers. Over the next three to five years, GDF SUEZ plans to open fifteen LNG fuel stations for road traffic and shipping.
• Rolande has commissioned the first LNG/CNG fuel station in Tilburg. Approximately 50 trucks will refuel here on a daily basis. Before the year is up, it will be possible to refuel here also on Bio-LNG of Dutch origin.
• The PGS 33-1 ‘LNG fuelling stations’ guideline is ready. This guideline describes the latest technical knowledge on the design, construction and functioning of LNG fuelling stations. PGS (Publication Series on Dangerous Substances) is intended for companies that work with hazardous substances as well as for licensing and supervising authorities. The new guideline accelerates the realization of an LNG fuelling infrastructure, as it clarifies for all parties concerned which requirements a fuelling station should comply with.

Under leadership of the Taskforce LNG Noord-Nederland, the Energy Valley region is developing the chain for (Bio-)LNG in and around the international waters of the Wadden Sea. In this respect, they collaborate closely with the German LNG-Initiative Nordwest. Their common objective is to facilitate the production, storage and use of (Bio-)LNG as a fuel for the shipping industry, ferry services, short sea shipping, heavy road transport and possibly trains.

National LNG Platform

The National LNG Platform connects companies and government authorities who are committed to the introduction of liquefied natural gas as an alternative fuel in the Netherlands. The objective is to ensure that by 2015, at least 50 inland navigation vessels, 50 seagoing vessels and 500 trucks will be powered by LNG.
