N2  - Aim of this thesis is to identify the possible role for Liquefied Natural Gas in the Waddensea area. The scope is the transport sector, and more specifically the fuel for the shipping sector. First, the background of LNG and the background of the Waddensea is described. The major drivers and obstacles for LNG implementation in the Waddensea are identified and categorized. Following, the background is put in an academic perspective of planning theory, complexity theory, scenario planning theory, transition theory, and innovation theory. Subsequently, stakeholders have been interviewed to gain insights in their perceptions of LNG and its developments. On basis of these interviews, different themes are distinguished, which are then linked with the drivers and blockers. This background, theoretical framework, and stakeholder interviews form input for four different scenarios, split up in conditions and impacts. Concluding, it can be said that LNG can play different roles in the Waddensea-area.
