Courtesy of German LNG Terminal Gasunie LNG, Vopak LNG, and Oiltanking formed the German LNG Terminal as a joint venture. The plan was to build and operate an LNG terminal at the Brunsbüttel, Northern Germany. The project specifically includes: A jetty with two berths for vessels up to Q-Max size; Facilities for the distribution of LNG by tankers, railway tanker wagons, and smaller vessels. The terminal will serve the import and onward distribution of LNG. It will have two LNG tanks with a capacity of 165,000 cubic metres each and an LNG regasification plant. Its annual regasification capacity of 8 billion cubic metres is to provide a possibility to import gas directly to the German market. In this way, the project will improve Germany’s energy security. In view of the current political situation, the management of the German LNG Terminal on the one hand and the German Federal Government on the other agreed on key points for further. On 4 March 2022, Gasunie and KfW signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to take the project into the next phase. This includes starting the joint construction of the LNG terminal. In addition, KfW will join the project as a shareholder. Going forward, the intention will be to refit the terminal so that it can process green hydrogen derivatives like ammonia. The current shareholders have agreed that Gasunie is the best partner for the German government to complete the terminal project quickly and successfully. This is to ensure a stable energy supply with gas and enhance the security of supply in Germany. Kees van Seventer, president of Vopak LNG, and René Anghel, CFO of Oiltanking, issued a joint statement. “The state participation and the leadership of Gasunie enable the necessary accelerated realization of the terminal. It is in the interest of securing the energy supply of Northwest Europe. The framework including commercial conditions of this state participation and a private ownership are different and so Vopak and Oiltanking have decided not to participate further in the implementation of the project.” In addition, the former joint managing director Philipp Kroepels will return to Oiltanking. Michael Kleemiß will remain managing director. Both the shareholders and the management reaffirmed their intention to move the terminal project forward quickly. The planning approval process, which was started last year, is being moved ahead at full speed. Moreover, the consortium of the general contractor Cobra/Sener will be commissioned to start the preparatory work immediately. Minister Robert Habeck said: “It is absolutely clear that we need to make our energy supply climate-neutral, to rigorously cut our gas consumption, and to press ahead with the expansion of renewables and the production of hydrogen. But we will need gas during the transition. Here, we need to reduce our dependence on imports from Russia as quickly as possible; Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine is now making this imperative. An LNG terminal in Brunsbüttel will increase the possibilities to import gas to Germany. LNG terminals could be described as an extra by-pass for this. They help us to boost energy security in Germany and Europe.” Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Germany marks the final destination for the controversial Nord Stream 2 pipeline. The pipeline was supposed to reduce costs by providing a direct line from Russia to Germany via the Baltic Sea. Although complete, the Nord Stream 2 pipeline remains inactive due to geopolitical concerns and US sanctions. LNG creates a way for Germany to import natural gas from exporting nations such as the United States, Qatar, or Australia and reduce its dependence on Russian gas. However, Germany lacks the LNG regasification capacity or LNG import terminals needed to support sizeable LNG imports. “The events of the last few days and weeks have shown us that a responsible and forward-looking energy policy is not only crucial for our economy and our climate, but also crucial for our security,” Scholz said, adding that his government will “change course to overcome our dependence on imports from individual energy suppliers.” On September 6, 2021, specialists on the lay barge Fortuna welded the last pipe of the two strings of the Nord Stream 2 Pipeline. The pipe number 200,858 was subsequently lowered onto the seabed in German waters. (Image Courtesy Of Nord Stream 2 / Axel Schmidt) At a length of 759 miles (1222 km), Nord Stream 1 is the longest subsea pipeline in the world. It consists of two twin natural gas lines, the first of which was launched in November 2011 and the second was launched in October 2012. The lines run on the seabed of the Baltic Sea from Vyborg, Russia, to Lubmin, Germany. Due to increased demand, Russia’s national oil company, Gazprom, decided to build a second twin-line sub-sea pipeline, this time from Ust-Luga, Russia, to Lubmin, Germany. Nord Stream 2’s pipe was laid between 2018 to 2021. The first line was complete in June 2021 and the second line was complete in September 2021. However, Nord Stream 2 has yet to go into service due to geopolitical concerns put forth by the United States and several central and eastern European countries. “What is needed now in the short term can be combined with what is needed anyway in the long term for the success of the transformation [into a carbon-neutral economy],” the chancellor said, arguing that “an LNG terminal that receives gas today can also receive green hydrogen tomorrow.” Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
notsonice + 1,266 DM March 9, 2022 Europe Scrambles to Cut Dependence on Russian Energy please note based on two pillars: Diversifying gas supplies, via higher Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) and pipeline imports from non-Russian suppliers, and larger volumes of biomethane and renewable hydrogen production and imports; and, reducing faster the use of fossil fuels in our homes, buildings, industry, and power system, by boosting energy efficiency, increasing renewables and electrification, and addressing infrastructure bottlenecks. and ......gradually remove at least 155 bcm of fossil gas use, which is equivalent to the volume imported from Russia in 2021. Nearly two thirds of that reduction can be achieved within a year, Press release8 March 2022Strasbourg REPowerEU: Joint European action for more affordable, secure and sustainable energy The European Commission has today proposed an outline of a plan to make Europe independent from Russian fossil fuels well before 2030, starting with gas, in light of Russia's invasion of Ukraine. This plan also outlines a series of measures to respond to rising energy prices in Europe and to replenish gas stocks for next winter. Europe has been facing increased energy prices for several months, but now uncertainty on supply is exacerbating the problem. REPowerEU will seek to diversify gas supplies, speed up the roll-out of renewable gases and replace gas in heating and power generation. This can reduce EU demand for Russian gas by two thirds before the end of the year. Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said: “We must become independent from Russian oil, coal and gas. We simply cannot rely on a supplier who explicitly threatens us. We need to act now to mitigate the impact of rising energy prices, diversify our gas supply for next winter and accelerate the clean energy transition. The quicker we switch to renewables and hydrogen, combined with more energy efficiency, the quicker we will be truly independent and master our energy system. I will be discussing the Commission's ideas with European leaders at Versailles later this week, and then working to swiftly implement them with my team.” Executive Vice-President for the European Green Deal, Frans Timmermans said: “It is time we tackle our vulnerabilities and rapidly become more independent in our energy choices. Let's dash into renewable energy at lightning speed. Renewables are a cheap, clean, and potentially endless source of energy and instead of funding the fossil fuel industry elsewhere, they create jobs here. Putin's war in Ukraine demonstrates the urgency of accelerating our clean energy transition.” Commissioner for Energy, Kadri Simson, said: “Russia's invasion of Ukraine has aggravated the security of supply situation and driven energy prices to unprecedented levels. For the remaining weeks of this winter, Europe has sufficient amounts of gas, but we need to replenish our reserves urgently for next year. The Commission will therefore propose that by 1 October, gas storage in the EU has to be filled up to at least 90%. We have also outlined price regulation, state aid and tax measures to protect European households and businesses against the impact of the exceptionally high prices.” Emergency measures on energy prices and gas storage The Commission's ‘Energy Prices Toolbox' from last October has helped Member States to mitigate the impact of high prices on vulnerable consumers and it remains an important framework for national measures. Today the Commission is presenting Member States with additional guidance, confirming the possibility to regulate prices in exceptional circumstances, and setting out how Member States can redistribute revenue from high energy sector profits and emissions trading to consumers. EU State Aid rules also offer Member States options to provide short-term support to companies affected by high energy prices, and help reduce their exposure to energy price volatility in the medium to long term. Following a consultation on targeted amendments to the Emission Trading System State aid Guidelines, the Commission will also be consulting with Member States on the needs for and scope of a new State aid Temporary Crisis Framework to grant aid to companies affected by the crisis, in particular those facing high energy costs. The Commission intends to present by April a legislative proposal requiring underground gas storage across the EU to be filled up to at least 90% of its capacity by 1 October each year. The proposal would entail the monitoring and enforcement of filling levels and build in solidarity arrangements between Member States. The Commission continues its investigation into the gas market in response to concerns about potential distortions of competition by operators, notably Gazprom. To address the skyrocketing energy prices, the Commission will look into all possible options for emergency measures to limit the contagion effect of gas prices in electricity prices, such as temporary price limits. It will also assess options to optimise the electricity market design taking into account the final report of the EU Agency for the Cooperation of Energy Regulators (ACER) and other contributions on benefits and drawbacks of alternative pricing mechanisms to keep electricity affordable, without disrupting supply and further investment in the green transition. REPowerEU – eliminating our dependence on Russian gas before 2030 Phasing out our dependence on fossil fuels from Russia can be done well before 2030. To do so, the Commission proposes to develop a REPowerEU plan that will increase the resilience of the EU-wide energy system based on two pillars: Diversifying gas supplies, via higher Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) and pipeline imports from non-Russian suppliers, and larger volumes of biomethane and renewable hydrogen production and imports; and, reducing faster the use of fossil fuels in our homes, buildings, industry, and power system, by boosting energy efficiency, increasing renewables and electrification, and addressing infrastructure bottlenecks. Full implementation of the Commission's ‘Fit for 55' proposals would already reduce our annual fossil gas consumption by 30%, equivalent to 100 billion cubic metres (bcm), by 2030. With the measures in the REPowerEU plan, we could gradually remove at least 155 bcm of fossil gas use, which is equivalent to the volume imported from Russia in 2021. Nearly two thirds of that reduction can be achieved within a year, ending the EU's overdependence on a single supplier. The Commission proposes to work with Member States to identify the most suitable projects to meet these objectives, building on the extensive work done already on national Recovery and Resilience Plans. Background The new geopolitical and energy market reality requires us to drastically accelerate the clean energy transition and increase Europe's energy independence from unreliable suppliers and volatile fossil fuels. Following the invasion of Ukraine, the case for a rapid clean energy transition has never been stronger and clearer. The EU imports 90% of its gas consumption, with Russia providing around 45% of those imports, in varying levels across Member States. Russia also accounts for around 25% of oil imports and 45% of coal imports. The Commission's Energy Prices Toolbox of October 2021 has been helping citizens and businesses to face high energy prices in recent months. 25 Member States have adopted measures in line with the toolbox which are already easing energy bills for over 70 million household customers and several million micro, small and medium-sized enterprises. The Commission continues to work with neighbours and partners in the Western Balkans, and in the Energy Community, which share the EU's fossil fuel dependencies and exposure to price hikes, while also having committed to the same long term climate goals. For Ukraine, Moldova and Georgia, the EU stands ready to provide support to ensure reliable and sustainable energy. The ongoing effort to provide for an emergency synchronisation of the Ukrainian and Moldovan electricity grids with the continental European grid is a clear token of this commitment.

From your posts you are saying the existing facilities were built by idiots??????...... unused capacity feed in to parts of the European pipeline network that either do not connect, or connect going the wrong direction with the places highly dependent on Russian gas. ..... what a load of BS SNIP My apologies - I thought you were talking about regassification facilities in Europe. You are correct, the liquifaction LNG plants ARE running full speed ahead. Clearly if Europe is going to import more LNG, they have to take it from somebody else, because there aren't many big LNG plants in the pipeline right now, and they are slow to construct. However Europe's regassification capacity is a problem, and I thought you were referring to it. The existing regassification facilities in Europe weren't built by idiots - they were built by/in countries with no good connection to the European pipeline networks running from east to west from Russia, or from the North Sea to the Netherlands and surrounding areas. And they are NOT running at 100% capacity, because the parts of the european network they feed into simply don't interconnect very well with the parts that rely on natural gas from Russia. https://www.cleanenergywire.org/factsheets/liquefied-gas-does-lng-have-place-germanys-energy-future If you look, the existing regassification sites are clustered along the Mediterranean, and the Atlantic seaboard. they receive gas from the Americas, and from North Africa. Now, in theory, you could argue that they ought to simply use the ones that exist, and send the gas east. There are two problems with that: The pipeline network in Iberia, doesn't connect with the rest of Europe, except for one interconnect with limited capacity These are the 'main' pipeline systems - not shown are municipal distribution systems. The diameter of the pipeline is proportional to the width of the blue lines. brown are 'branch' lines only for regional distribution. Note that all those regassification facilities in Spain are connected only by one tiny line into France. Also notice that NONE of the balkans or Finland or the Baltic region connects with anything but pipelines from Russia. Worse yet, the pipelines which are there are one direction only, as shown by the arrows. Where the arrows end, is roughly where single direction only flow stops. https://mondediplo.com/maps/gas-pipelines What this means is that the countries of Poland, Cech, and Slovakia, while in theory are well connected with the 'greater European' pipeline network centered in N.E. France, West Germany and the Benelux in practice cannot use it, because the pipeline networks in their countries don't accept flow from that direction. All of this means is that as a practical matter, the only LNG import and regassification terminals which can assist anyone in reducing the need for Russian gas are the ones in Northern Italy, in France, in the Netherlands, and in the UK. And even these ones cannot help the countries East of Germany because they cannot accept gas from that direction. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
