On Wednesday, December 21, the first gas was supplied to the newly constructed gas pipeline from the vessel Höegh Esperanza.
In Germany, on December 21, the first own floating terminal for receiving liquefied natural gas (LNG) was implemented. It is located in the city of Wilhelmshaven in the north of the country, according to NDR.
It is known that the launch of the terminal took place ahead of schedule.
Uniper, the terminal operator, specified that the first gas was supplied to the pipeline from the ship Hoegh Esperanza on Wednesday after 09.00 (10.00 Kyiv time).
The test phase of the facility’s operation is currently beginning, which should be completed by the end of February. It is emphasized that the launch was carried out faster thanks to close cooperation with the German authorities.
Recall that the LNG terminal in Wilhelmshaven began to be built in May this year as part of the reform of the German energy sector, aimed at reducing dependence on Russian resources.
The facility was completed in November and opened on December 17th.
In total, by the end of 2023, six floating terminals are planned to be built on the coast of Germany – five public and one private. Their total capacity is estimated at 33 billion cubic meters per year.
