LNG

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz formally opened the nation’s second liquefied natural gas terminal since its reliance on Russian pipeline gas came to a close in 2022 and fast-track developments have been made possible due to the support and know-how in particular of French and Dutch energy and shipping companies.

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz told the German Parliament, the Bundestag, that the nation’s first floating liquefied natural gas terminal was ready for operations and the first LNG carrier would arrive on December 17 at the North Sea port of Wilhelmshaven.
