This terminal will receive the first tanker in January 2023, and the energy company Uniper will be the operator. Floating regasification units (FSRU) will be able to moor here, where the fuel will be pumped into Germany’s gas infrastructure. Its capacity is 7.5 billion cubic meters per year.
It is known that Germany plans to build seven mobile LNG receiving terminals on the coasts of the North and Baltic Seas by the end of 2023. Their total capacity will be more than 30 billion cubic meters.
At the same time, planning is underway for three stationary terminals – they will be launched in 2025-2026.
Recall that in May 2022, Germany began to build a terminal in Wilhelmshaven for LNG. It was then planned that the work would take 10 months.
It was also reported that the share of Russian gas in EU imports fell four times – up to 9%. Now the main supplier is Norway.
