The German infrastructure company Gascade has completed a 450m natural gas pipeline that will connect the new 5.2 bcm/year LNG terminal in Lubmin (north-eastern Germany) to the German gas grid.
The new gas pipeline will link the Greifswald landing station, where a 145,000 cm floating storage regasification unit (FSRU) will be moored as part of the Deutsche Ostsee LNG project developed by the Deutsche Regas company. The Neptune FSRU will be provided by the French oil and gas company TotalEnergies. From the landing station, the regasified LNG will go through the OPAL, NEL, and EUGAL gas pipelines to Germany and Europe, starting from December 2022.
Several LNG projects have been initiated in Germany since the since the start of the war in Ukraine, as Berlin is trying to avoid an energy crisis this winter amid dwindling supplies of Russian gas. Earlier in November 2022, Germany inaugurated its first floating LNG terminal in the port of Wilhelmshaven (northwestern Germany), which will host a 7.5 bcm/year FSRU starting from late December 2022 or early January 2023.
