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

• 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

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 OilTotal storage volume: Gas = 4.3 Billion m3

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 Location options

Three locations in Wilhelmshaven offer various options for the technical design of an LNG terminal

partly existing preliminary considerations and approvals

3. LNG-Terminal in Wilhelmshaven Umschlaganlage Voslapper Groden (DFTG/Uniper)

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

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

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

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

28.11.2018

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
