Yesterday, the state of Lower Saxony issued the last outstanding water law permit for the facility for importing liquefied natural gas (LNG). The discharge of chlorine-containing waste water into the sea was regulated.
In doing so, “the best possible balance between social, economic and ecological concerns was ensured”. That said Anne Rickmeyer, head of the Lower Saxony State Office for Water Management, Coastal Protection and Nature Conservation (NLWKN), according to a statement.
Environmental groups criticize the discharge of chemicals and fear damage to the UNESCO World Heritage Wadden Sea. The approval was handed over to the operator Uniper Global Commodities.
The LNG plant is part of Germany’s efforts to become independent of natural gas from Russia. It is to be put into operation today in the presence of the German Federal Chancellor Olaf Scholz, Economics Minister Robert Habeck and Finance Minister Christian Lindner and other politicians. On Thursday, the special ship “Höegh Esperanza” moored at the new pier. In the future, liquid gas will be converted back into the gaseous state on the ship. The special ship takes liquefied natural gas (LNG) from tankers and converts it into gas while it is still on board. Then it can be fed into the grid.
