TLDR: Germany invests into three to four floating LNG terminals. First gas shipments through these terminals may come next winter.
​
Unfortunately I did not yet find a source about how much of the gas need will be met by these floating terminals.
Is there much resistance in Germany towards reactivating their nuclear power plants after the short sited decision to close them after Fukushima?
Instead of replacing gas heating with electric, they are buying overpriced natural gas and invest in a floating Nord Stream.
Great thinking. Germans and gas..
a more expensive and less environment friendly option ?, I guess new suppliers will be far away, including transport by sea.
Four at once, this is quite a scale.
“Last week, the Berlin-based think tank German Institute for Economic Research (DIW) said Germany could kick its dependency on Russian energy imports before winter by lowering consumption and making more efficient use of existing infrastructure.
DIW suggested using existing LNG terminals in France, Belgium and the Netherlands, as well as gas pipelines from southern Europe to import fuel from Algeria and Libya.”
This seems like a better idea
Very anti-green and not cost-effective in any way. I have no hope for humanity’s survival if we have to stop pollution by 2025. Be a leader Germany!
