Faster construction of LNG terminals

The construction of liquefied natural gas terminals in Germany is moving forward. The German Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology is currently working on the procurement of four floating LNG terminals (Floating Storage and Regasification Units, FSRU), as Andreas Kaiser, an officer at the BMWK, reported at the Berlin Energy Days. He said the LNG terminal in Wilhelmshaven should be commissioned this year, and the terminal in Brunsbüttel early next year. „Locations under consideration for the two other LNG terminals are Stade, Rostock, Hamburg, and Eemshaven in the Netherlands,“ Kaiser said. Stationary LNG terminals will then also be built in the medium term.
