Wilhelmshaven According to Lower Saxony’s Energy Minister Olaf Lies, the import of liquefied natural gas (LNG) via a planned import terminal in Wilhelmshaven could succeed before winter 2023. The SPD politician said this after a meeting of the “LNG Wilhelmshaven” task force consisting of 30 representatives of authorities and the port industry on Monday in the city.
So far there have been three projects by companies that want to organize imports via terminals in the city. “If we implemented all three of them, we would really get a significant performance. We could use it to import half of the imported Russian gas via the Wilhelmshaven coast,” said Lies. In total, it is about 25 billion cubic meters.
With regard to the terminal, it must now be seen how and in what order the three projects can be implemented. According to Lies, a decision on this should be made in March in order to achieve the target of importing LNG by 2023.
