So far, Germany has not had its own terminals for landing liquefied natural gas (LNG). That should change at the turn of the year.
Federal Minister of Economics Robert Habeck is pushing ahead with the planning for the first liquefied natural gas terminals in Germany.
In Wilhelmshaven and in Brunsbüttel, floating LNG terminals are to go into operation at the turn of the year with a line connection in order to bring the capacities into the network, as Habeck said in Berlin. He signed a memorandum of understanding with energy companies that the LNG ships will be provided with gas “at full capacity” by March 2024. These are Uniper, RWE, EnBW and the EnBW subsidiary VNG.
Habeck said it was about being less susceptible to blackmail with gas supplies from Russia. Russia had severely curtailed deliveries via the Nord Stream 1 Baltic Sea pipeline.
So far, Germany has not had its own terminals for landing liquefied natural gas (LNG). Habeck described the declaration of intent as a “signal of confidence” in the success of the development of an LNG infrastructure, which is to be developed under high pressure. At the same time, it is a signal that Germany will get gas over the winter via the ships in Brunsbüttel and Wilhelmshaven.
