Day Two
- Market progress on SAF, emethane, and H2 - Are they really coming?
- Clarity of regulations, role of member states and view of law for cross-border H2 trade
- Availability and accessibility of renewable energy for renewable h2?
- FLEXIBILITY is key to allow trade and competitiveness – how can we achieve it? How much subsidies are required to progress?
- Opportunities for neighbouring countries
The Nordic-Baltic Hydrogen Corridor is vital for energy security and renewable energy storage in the Baltic Sea region. Key developments include large-scale H2 pipelines, feasibility studies by Gasgrid, Amber Grid, and Elering, and offshore wind integration. Stakeholder engagement highlights socio-economic impacts, subsidy needs, and cross-border collaboration. The corridor aims to attract new industries, address regulatory clarity, and align with EU climate goals. Opportunities for neighbouring countries and defence applications of hydrogen technology are also explored. The session will discuss the H2 backbone project, IPCI status, and the role of renewable hydrogen in fostering industrial growth and energy transition.
CCS and CCU should be seen as complementary technologies rather than competitors, forming integral parts of a comprehensive strategy to address climate change. CCS focuses on capturing and reducing emissions directly at their source, while CCU repurposes CO₂ into useful products and resources. Together, these technologies create a synergistic effect, offering a well-rounded solution to cutting carbon emissions, driving economic sustainability, and fostering innovation. We will evaluate:
- Value chain issues, environmental assessments and risks
- Market perspective and collaboration across Europe
- How much storage capacity is there actually there and needed?
- If we are replacing local production with imported LNG – Can it be worse?
- For how long can we produce fossil fuel?
- What are we going to substitute it with?
- Development of new gas for power generation capacity in the region as a balancing (and under certain conditions, substituting) solution for renewable energy
- Hydropower for electricity generation – case study from Nordics
- German FSRUs and how could that change the Baltic LNG supply?
- What could be impact of any threat to infrastrtcure?
- In LNG vessels & transportation - how much gas will be needed?
- Liquidity & funds available in the region for new infrastructure? How to attract foreign investments? How to structure deal to make it suituable for investment?
- How can you make new energy models to be attractive?
A comprehensive and insightful exploration of the evolving landscape of natural gas and LNG imports. This session will leverage advanced data analytics to uncover the true dynamics of global gas flows and demand, dispelling common misconceptions and offering clarity on regional import requirements.
- Gas & LNG price driven by geopolitics, unprecedented LNG glut and global demand – What will be the price of gas coming into the region? What is rationale to buy long term?
- How much more LNG will be needed? Which markets will the region serve in the future?
- Sources of LNG post 2026 – From where and will that change in coming years?
- RePOWEREU and Russian ban – Will it affect LNG into the region?
- How is LNG pricing boiling down to retail market?
- Broader overview of new energies market – Where are markets headed?
We invite you to take a closer look at Klaipėda LNG terminal and FSRU Independence! During the sightseeing trip we will take a boat through the Klaipėda seaport to the Klaipėda LNG terminal, where the history and activities of Klaipėda LNG terminal will be presented by the KN representatives. During the 2 hour-long site trip you will not only see one of the most important guarantors of Lithuania's and the region's energy security up close, but you will also have the opportunity to take photos in the background of the LNG terminal and have a pleasant networking on the boat with the other participants of the forum.
