  1. Comments and responses from Madrid Forum participants to the EASEE-gas Gas Quality CPB Presentation to 11th Madrid Forum, 18 May 2006 Wim Groenendijk Chairman EASEE-gas Executive Committee

  2. Conclusions Madrid X: The Forum “invited participants including Member States and relevant national authorities to analyse the consequences of the implementation of the CBP on gas qualities with a view to enabling EASEE-gas to present to the next Forum the challenges involved in reaching implementation”.

  3. Timeline: 16/9/2005 Invitation Madrid Forum 15/11/2005 Reminder letter by EASEE-gas 13/12/2005 Marcogaz workshop on gas quality 06/03/2006 Reminder letter by EASEE-gas 18/05/2006 Presentation by EASEE-gas 01/10/2006 CBP Milestone non-combustion prop. 01/10/2010 CBP Milestone Wobbe Index et al.

  4. The Gas Quality Harmonisation Common Business Practice CBP 2005-01 Harmonisation of Gas Qualities • The CBP recommends natural gas quality specifications at cross border points in Europe and describes recommended gas quality parameters, parameter ranges and an implementation plan. • Natural gas arriving at cross border points in line with these proposed quality specifications can not be refused for quality reasons. • The CBP does not in any way restrict parties at a cross border point in agreeing other specifications.

  5. The Gas Quality Harmonisation Common Business Practice Approved parameters, values and ranges

  10. Observations For 2006 milestone few concerns: • Dew point range may require additional investment in some instances • Total sulphur limit of 30 mg/m3 lower than in most contracts (up to 150 mg/m3) but still quoted as a concern • For 2010 milestone concern on Wobbe Index: • Too wide/too narrow • Safety implications for households • Performance (industrial consumers)

  11. Use of the CBP and its values • At cross-border points where more relaxed specifications are currently used, these can be maintained • At cross-border points where more stringent specifications are currently used, these should be relaxed

  12. Effect of the CBP implementation should NOT be … Country A Country B Country C = EASEE-Gas values = Gas trading • Will decrease gas flows area Country C Country A Country B Interoperability at EU Level Effect of the CBP implementation should be … Country C Bilateral agreements Bilateral agreements Gas trading area Gas trading area EASEE-Gas values EASEE-Gas values • OK with EASEE-gas objectives • Will increase gas flows area Increasing interoperability Country A Country B

  13. Timing Implementation Implementation requires member states toadopt the values for each parameter on the same date. 1/10/2006 is the proposed implementation date for the parameters: • Total Sulphur • H2S and COS • RSH • CO2 • H2O dewpoint • Hydrocarbondewpoint

  14. Way Forward • EASEE-gas is not in a position to recommend an appropriate solution for each Member State to accept gas conforming to EASEE-gas specifications at the border. • It is up to the Member States to determine the optimum solution to deal with the acceptance of the EASEE-gas specifications at the cross border based on: • Costs involved • Security of Supply • Supply sources • Safety implications • Etc. • The implementation dates should be adhered to.
