Berlin This Tuesday is a special day for Wilhelmshaven, for Lower Saxony and also for all of Germany: 194 days after the start of construction, the infrastructure for a floating LNG terminal will be completed on this day and inaugurated by representatives of the Lower Saxony state government, the city and the port operator.
Wilhelmshaven is one of the terminals that could go into operation this year. The project in Lubmin is also one of the fast projects: “All the requirements will be met so that the terminal can go into operation in 2022,” according to Deutsche Regas, the operator of the project in Lubmin.
Work is also in full swing elsewhere. If everything goes according to plan, seven floating LNG terminals, known in technical jargon as Floating Storage and Regasification Units (FSRU), will be connected to the gas grid by the end of 2023. The capacities of all plants have not yet been determined, but according to industry information, they should achieve an annual capacity of well over 30 billion cubic meters of natural gas.
