Agenda
With KN Energies’s aim to become the leader in the storage and transportation of new sustainable energy types in the Baltics by 2050, discover their roadmap to contribute to a cleaner, safer, and richer future and thereby become a climate-neutral company.
The Baltic region's energy sector is experiencing significant transformations driven by a confluence of challenges over energy security, pricing and the progress towards climate neutrality targets set by European Union Member States. Acquire valuable updates on regional gas demand, Baltic cooperation strategy for securing supply to the rest of Europe and the top priorities for the region’s energy security and energy transition goals.
The energy landscape in the region is swirling with changes. Sanctions and regulatory interventions impacted the gas and LNG business, demanding adaptation and diversification. This session will endeavor considerations on finding the right balance between traditional LNG and green gases like hydrogen and our collective responsibility for a cleaner future.
Considering the war and the consequential circumstances, Ukraine supported the EU with supplies last winter, gearing up for another crucial season. There’s an opportunity to utilise Ukrainian infrastructure for new purposes, considering the fact that the Gazprom contract will end. In this keynote, we will address how Ukraine can secure its energy by utilising capacities of underground storages and also gain clarity on the future of Russian gas transportation to the EU.
- Development of new LNG infrastructure in the Baltic Sea and growing capacity in the region;
- Security considerations for critical infrastructure, including LNG import/export facilities in the Baltic Sea;
- New pathway to decarbonisation of LNG terminals for synthetic gases, biomethane, and H2.
- Decarbonisation of LNG contracts - Do you see decarbonisation as a factor in price negotiation/price adjustments, how much of these issues are relevant for long-term contracts?;
- Developing Baltic hubs - regional exchange for gas and power market;
- Legal solutions to market disruption.
We will cover the features and characteristics of small-scale LNG and how it has enabled LNG to penetrate further than pipeline gas in terms of providing increased access to natural gas. We will also cover how the same cryogenic products and very similar supply chains are poised to deliver hydrogen at scale and how cryogenic technology is at the heart of our carbon capture process that focuses on difficult to abate industries can also go beyond sequestration providing captured, purified and recycled carbon dioxide as a usable commodity.
This case study offers valuable lessons on the exceptional operational environment after Balticconnector damage, urgent changes for terminal operations securing energy supply during wintertime and the importance of open communication and solid cooperation through supply chain, market participants and authorities.
- Infrastructure efforts for new ships, monitoring systems, transmission and onshore infrastructure;
- Emissions, regulations, and how do deal with it?;
- Compatibility of terminals for other fuels that need to be bunkered to maritime industries and available retrofit solutions;
- Biomethane, synthetic NG, e-methanol, bio-LNG, green methanol as alternate fuel.
- Developments in offshore wind, hydrogen (green & blue), biomethane and bio-LNG;
- How soon we will get rid of gas - Forecasting the flows of gas for local demand and regional plan post-2030;
- Will nuclear (small modular reactors) jeopardise the existing renewable energy system.
