LNG FOR A GREENER AND HEALTHIER EUROPE
• Europe’s challenge: address climate change and harmful emissions • Shipping industry to contribute substantially to European climate and health targets • Switching to LNG is the most sustainable option both for shipping and long-haulage transport by truck: steep reduction of emissions • Belgium: first-mover advantage in unlocking the market for LNG as shipping fuel • Belgian ports of Antwerp and Zeebrugge both play in the top league of European ports • Port of Zeebrugge: Fluxys LNG terminal ready to accommodate LNG bunkering demand in surrounding ports • Port of Antwerp: project to develop downstream LNG bunkering infrastructure

EUROPE’S CHALLENGE: ADDRESS CLIMATE CHANGE AND HARMFUL EMISSIONS EU Climate policy The European Union is committed to limit climate change to 2°C. The first step is to achieve by 2020 three targets compared to 1990: • reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 20%, • increase the share of renewables in its energy mix to 20%,

• reduce energy consumption by 20%.
“Climate change is the defining challenge of our time. Today’s climate package proves that tackling climate change and economic competitiveness simultaneously is not contradictory but mutually reinforcing.” José Manuel Barroso, President of the European Commission
EU Clean air policy • The current clean air policy of the European Union has only partly succeeded in reducing air pollution. • Premature deaths from air pollution are estimated at 420 000 in 2010.
©EC - P. Mascart
• The European Commission has adopted a new Clean Air Policy Package in December 2013 with new air quality objectives for the period up to 2030.
“Air pollution is still an ‘invisible killer’ and it prevents many people from living a fully active life. The actions we are proposing will halve the number of premature deaths from air pollution, increase protection for the vulnerable groups who need it most, and improve quality of life for all.” Janez Potočnik, Environment Commissioner

LNG demand for shipping expected to rise to 7 mt/y in 2030
Steep reduction in carbon footprint and health impacting emissions If the shipping industry by 2030 uses 7 million ton of LNG instead of Heavy Fuel Oil per year, this will mark a milestone in achieving EU climate and air quality targets. The numbers speak for themselves:
