EU-TARGETS FOR 2020 OF 95 GCO2/KM WILL ONLY BE REALIZED, IF THE NUMBER OF NGVS WILL BE SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASED.

OUTLOOK OF FREIGHT TRANSPORT

4 GAZPROM GERMANIA GMBH / IBC Workshop “LNG in Road Transport” / November 2015

Source: Energie Agentur NRW

By end of 2015 the volumes of freight transport in Germany for example will rise by 70% This will lead to significant raise of GHG and air pollutions emissions

Environmental, economical and safe solutions in transport are needed!

COMPARISON CNG VS. LNG


+ Accessible and proven technology Choice of vehicles available with new models being

added by the automotive industry Generally able to meet EU 6 standards “Zero” or reduced excise duty in many European

countries, expected to last until 2030

– Extra weight of gas cylinders decreases fuel efficiency

and driving performance For buses: sometimes height restrictions for low bridges

due to mounting of storage on the roof Lower energy density than conventional fuels or LNG

+ Higher energy density than CNG resulting in smaller

tanks, less weight and higher mileage Lower weight of vehicles resulting in higher utilization of

fuel efficiency For buses: lower centre of gravity due to lighter and

internal fuel tank with higher driving comfort Reduced excise duty with high chances of sustainability

until 2030 (no alternative for HDV)* Independency of pipeline infrastructure

– New and well tested technology, but refueling

infrastructure yet to be developed More complex supply chain than for CNG requires reliable

partners for supply + refueling Choice of OEM vehicles still limited

*as for CNG, but in some countries CNG and LNG are treated differently

SOME PRACTICAL REMARKS TO THE MARKET SITUATION FOR THE NATURAL GAS FOR TRANSPORT BUSINESS

6

Currently low oil/Diesel pricing delays investment decision and challenge a change towards LNG

But,…

- very volatile oil/Diesel pricing have recovered and are assumed to increase again within next years- investors keep investing into refueling stations (subsidies with deadlines, lead time)- investment cost “Premium“ for NGV and refueling stations (especially for LNG) is expected to decrease

Gas for transport infrastructure is slightly growing but still limited across Europe (especially for LNG)

But,…

- CNG station network development extended by LCNG station (for off-grid areas/customers)

- Increasing SSLNG applications at LNG import terminals enlarges LNG for transport availability.

- EU and regional programs for clean mobility are in place (e.g. Clean Package for Transport, Ten-T, LNG Blue Corridors, …) and facilitate the infrastructure development by financial support, regulation and standardization

Even with an increased awareness for NGV prejudices and wrong information block the change

But,…

- New, improved and additional NGV models become available on the European market

- Awareness campaigns for transparent price information for alternative fuels started the political decision process

GAZPROM‘S MARKET POSITION TODAY – FROM REGIONAL MARKET DEVELOPMENT TOWARDS A GLOBAL STRATEGY

• GAZPROM Germania (100% owned by Gazprom export): 28 CNG stations, 3 in construction, 9 planned

• GAZPROM Germania: 7 CNG stations, 2 in construction, 6 planned

• VEMEX (50% owned by GAZPROM Germania): 5 CNG stations + gas supply to third party stations

• GAZPROM Germania: 1 LNG station + 1 LNG station in construction, 5 CNG stations planned

• VEMEX: gas supply to one third party CNG station

• JV between Gazprom and Petrovietnam: development of NGV-infrastructure and gas supply to gas filling stations

LNG LESSONS LEARNED (TECHNIQUE)

3

One source of LNG preferable

Consideration of Boil off handling from beginning

Flexible utilization of mobile station is

crucial

Different LNG qualities (mixing of cold and warm LNG) causes challenges for the operation

Boil off is unavoidable during normal operation (especially heat input from vehicles)

Mobile stations enable fast realization of LNG projects and are necessary as backup solutions for the initiating phase

6

LCNG station solution is favorable

Redundancies at all components are

crucial

Modular setup & short connection lines are crucial

Combination of LNG and CNG demand increases project profitability and stabilize operations

LNG clients (buses and trucks) are very sensitive to outages/failures of the LNG station (no refueling alternatives, delicate load, time pressure, etc.)

Base load demand and conservative expectations on fleet size growth and additional clients define initial station size

LNG LESSONS LEARNED (MARKET)

LNG pricing crucial with expected fix Diesel discounts

Support for 2nd market for LNG

vehicles needed

Skilled application crucial & need for EU harmonization

Main interest for potential LNG clients (buses and trucks) are cheaper but also more projectable TCO costs

Financing of LNG vehicles as bottleneck for LNG projects due to a low/non-existing risk appetite of banks with respect to uncertainties about resale values

Differences in national and local permitting and operational requirements (e.g. safety standards) hinder a predictable commissioning of LNG stations (especially without mobile stations)

Customer oriented project approach

needed

Additional SSLNG sources in Europe

are needed

Additional LNG manufacturer &

Eco.of sales crucial

Fuel savings are not the only decision criteria for fleet owners; noise (city traffic at night/morning hours) and operational improvements like faster refueling or no fuel losses/theft become more important

The reliability and profitability of LNG station projects strongly depends on the availability of small scale LNG volumes (e.g. reasonable distances, qualified logistics)

Currently to less LNG vehicle manufacturer available which results in lower competition (higher price mark ups and inferior after sales service)


LET’S DRIVE THE FUTURE TOGETHER WITH NATURAL GAS AS FUEL

13

Natural gas is clean, abundant and affordable

Vehicles and refuelling technology are proven, safe and reliable

Market potential for natural gas as fuel for road transport and marine fuel is significant

CNG and LNG are complimentary fuels covering almost all transport sectors

As market is still developing, policy measures are required to motivate investors and end users to switch to natural gas as fuel

Gazprom is ready to contribute to market development by providing reliable supplies of natural gas
