1. Summary of the Study on the LNG terminal location potentials Potential analysis (October 2017): "LNG infrastructure on the German North Sea coast under consideration of particularly suitable locations Involved partner: Download: www.mariko-leer.de
1. Summary of the Study on the LNG terminal location potentials Core message 1. Germany is the largest European natural gas market 2. Germany needs LNG imports in order to cover and guarantee the security of supply of natural gas supply in a 10 year perspective 3. The price advantage for pipeline-bound natural gas will disappear in the next few years 4. LNG-fueled vessels will continue to expand and the demand for low cost LNG marine fuel will increase 5. A low-cost LNG terminal must be designed, planned and invested in accordance with European regulatory practice
1. Summary of the Study on the LNG terminal location potentials Locations Emden Wilhelmshaven Bremerhaven Brunsbüttel Stade Wilhelmshaven has considerable advantages in terms of distance to serve LNG small scale demand at other locations Wilhelmshaven has the best characteristics in terms of nautics, location, cavern capacities and grid connection and overall visibility Source: Merkel Energy

3. LNG-Terminal in Wilhelmshaven Floating terminal Medium shore-based terminal Large shore-based terminal Example: Klaipeda Example: Swinoujscie Example: Rotterdam Source: Merkel Energy All options are possible and practicable in Wilhelmshaven
3. LNG-Terminal in Wilhelmshaven Wilhelmshaven is an excellent location and offers very favorable conditions for all terminal scenarios to: Geographical location Connection to the European pipeline network Available free space Available cavern capacities in the immediate vicinity Nautical conditions Etzel Cavern Storage Capacity: Number of caverns: 75 In detail: 51 Gas, 24 Oil Total storage volume: Gas = 4.3 Billion m 3 Oil > 10 Mio. m³ Planning: Another 24 caverns can be build by solution mining
3. LNG-Terminal in Wilhelmshaven Advantages in detail: No limitations for "Q-max -vessels (345 m LOA) An additional extension of the deep water fairway is not necessary An LNG terminal can be reached with a Q-max tanker at any time independent of the tide and does not require an additional maritime police permit on the river jade Terminal approach is only about 23 nm (10 kn = abt. 2 h) The river Jade offers enough space to accommodate additional LNG traffic without any major restrictions to be expected
3. LNG-Terminal in Wilhelmshaven Pilotage inbound (German bight) Approach ~ 23 NM
3. LNG-Terminal in Wilhelmshaven Location options Three locations in Wilhelmshaven offer various options for the technical design of an LNG terminal partly existing preliminary considerations and approvals Source: Wilhelmshavener Hafenwirtschafts-Vereinigung
3. LNG-Terminal in Wilhelmshaven Umschlaganlage Voslapper Groden (DFTG/Uniper) Source: Potenzialanalyse LNG-Infrastruktur an der deutschen Nordseeküste unter Betrachtung besonders geeigneter Standorte Present plans go for a FSRU unit Existing Jetty has to be extended The Deutsche Flüssigerdgas Terminal Gesellschaft (DFTG) and Uniper has already been considering this for several years with the aim of upgrading and expanding the existing facility The jetty would be located in the deep water area, but still about 800 m outside the fairway
3. LNG-Terminal in Wilhelmshaven HES Wilhelmshaven Tank Terminal The coastal jetty is being used in the actual planning and will be extended for Q-Max A land based facility with up to 6 storage tanks is projected Source: Wilhelmshavener Hafenwirtschafts-Vereinigung
3. LNG-Terminal in Wilhelmshaven the best nautical conditions DFTG/Uniper + HES DFTG/Uniper Ø 700m Turning area Turning areas next to the Fairway Ø 700m Turning area HES Wilhelmshaven
3. LNG-Terminal in Wilhelmshaven the best nautical conditions - Nord-West Oelleitung GmbH (NWO) Ø 700m Turning area Good possibility from a nautical point of view to handle Q-max tankers Location plans are still available The jetty is easy to reach, and sufficient space for the turning manoeuvre is available The jetty is a deep water Terminal Source: Potenzialanalyse LNG-Infrastruktur an der deutschen Nordseeküste unter Betrachtung besonders geeigneter Standorte
4. Coordination center Development of LNG infrastructure on the North Sea Securing Germany's future gas supply security Development of infrastructure options for the supply of LNG-fueled vessels Specification and preparation of the location Wilhelmshaven for the realization of the possible LNG terminal options in Germany Investor-independent preparation and support in optimizing the framework conditions for an LNG import terminal Worldwide signal effect and "showcase" for Wilhelmshaven Acquisition of an investor consortium Foundation of a terminal realization company Competence Centre for Politics Coordination of activities in the supply chain
5. Further approach Attraction and engagement of political decision-makers at state, federal and EU level Placement in energy policy and energy system transformation Highlighting the importance for the economy of Germany as a business location Recognition in the gas industry, especially in the gas grid development plan (Germany and EU) "Signal effect" for investors Opening of funding perspectives for the realization of the project

6. Locations in comparison Wilhelmshaven - Brunsbüttel - Stade Brunsbüttel Stade Wilhelmshaven
6. Locations in comparison Brunsbüttel Ø 700m Turning area Heavy traffic on the Elbe river Heavy traffic to and from the Kiel canal Turning area uses Elbe fairway Tidal restrictions
6. Locations in comparison Stade difficult nautical conditions Ø 700m Turning area Elbe river with heavy traffic No turning area: > not enough space, > outside the fairway only 8 m water depth or less Turning by full use of the fairway Strong tidal restrictions
