The feasibility of the introduction of natural gas into the electricity production system in the island of Crete (Greece)

Sustainable island power system – Scenario analysis for Crete under the energy trilemma index

“…In the NG Storyline, despite the high initial capital costs for the LNG platform, gasification and transmission infrastructure with an estimated payback period of 3.5 years, the size of Crete's power system could allow the introduction of NG (Katsaprakakis et al, 2015). The gradual introduction of NG is considered as a viable and feasible scenario under prerequisites by the national gas authorities (Kardomateas, 2004).…”

“…Emissions production per fuel has been configured as indicated in The investment costs for new infrastructure related to NG includes the construction of LNG storage tanks, a gasification station, the gas transmission and a distribution pipeline. The total estimated costs for gas infrastructure on Crete according to the literature review are estimated to 850 Mil € (D. Katsaprakakis et al, 2015) Table 6. Emissions production per fuel § §…”
