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. date: 2014 date_type: published thesis_type: master degree_programme: EIP tutors_name: van Kann, FMG keywords_local: planning keywords_local: LNG keywords_local: energy keywords_local: infrastructure language_iso: en titleorder: Role of LNG in the Waddensea dbi: 542e6b7cd0029 imported_item: yes date_of_import: 2020-04-22 imported_from: http://scripties.frw.eldoc.ub.rug.nl/root/ma/EIP/2014/lrmandias/ import_source_file: theses-frw-20200422132454-542e6b7cd0029.xml date_issued: 2014-01-01 citation: Mandias, LR (2014) The Role of LNG in the Waddensea.
