LNG

Deutsche Energy Terminal (DET) is preparing to commission its floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) in Stade in September to facilitate LNG imports for the peak winter season.

Deutsche Energy Terminal GmbH (DET) increased its contribution to Germany’s security of supply by more than a third in 2025, supported by higher utilization of existing floating LNG terminals and the start‑up of a third unit at Wilhelmshaven. The state‑owned operator said its three FSRUs delivered 79 Terawatt-hours (TWh) of natural gas into the German grid last year, up from 59 TWh in both 2024 and 2023.

Deutsche ReGas has succeeded in gaining permission to restart reloading LNG tankers at its Mukran floating regas and storage unit (FSRU). The environmental ministry had forbidden the practice in the autumn, arguing reloading was not covered by the terminal’s original permit.
