Lubmin LNG Terminals
The Lubmin LNG terminals are two liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminals in Lubmin, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany, on the Baltic Sea. Both shipping terminals were rushed into operation following the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine and the global natural gas supply crisis and the loss of Russian pipeline gas, which had long provided over fifty percent of German gas energy demand. The first terminal became operational in January 2023. Planned by the German federal state, the terminal will be operated by the German energy company RWE and by the Norwegian company Stena Power. It is Germany's second LNG terminal after the Wilhelmshaven LNG terminal which received its first LNG tanker for regasification in December 2022. In the long term, the terminal is being set up in such a way that a special purpose vehicle could be set up to operate the regasification ship, where the Federal government provides the chartered ship, and thereby receives a voice into a private company that could ...

Liquefied Natural Gas Terminal
A liquefied natural gas terminal is a facility for managing the import and/or export of liquefied natural gas (LNG). It comprises equipment for loading and unloading of LNG cargo to/from LNG carrier, ocean-going tankers, for transfer across the site, liquefaction, re-gasification, processing, storage, pumping, compression, and metering of LNG. LNG as a liquid is the most efficient way to transport natural gas over long distances, usually by sea. Types Liquefied natural gas terminals can be classed as: liquefaction terminals for the export of LNG or :ru:Регазификационный терминал сжиженного природного газа, regasification terminals for the import of LNG. LNG terminals may combine both functions. FSRU A floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) is an LNG terminal whose main structure is a special ship moored near a port. As of January 2014 there are operating FSRUs in Brazil, Argentina, Kuwait, Israel, the UAE, Italy, Ind ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Ports And Harbours In Europe
A port is a maritime facility comprising one or more wharves or loading areas, where ships load and discharge cargo and passengers. Although usually situated on a sea coast or estuary, ports can also be found far inland, such as Hamburg, Manchester and Duluth; these access the sea via rivers or canals. Because of their roles as ports of entry for immigrants as well as soldiers in wartime, many port cities have experienced dramatic multi-ethnic and multicultural changes throughout their histories. Ports are extremely important to the global economy; 70% of global merchandise trade by value passes through a port. For this reason, ports are also often densely populated settlements that provide the labor for processing and handling goods and related services for the ports. Today by far the greatest growth in port development is in Asia, the continent with some of the world's largest and busiest ports, such as Singapore and the Chinese ports of Shanghai and Ningbo-Zho ...

Energy Infrastructure In Germany
In physics, energy (from Ancient Greek: ἐνέργεια, ''enérgeia'', “activity”) is the quantitative property that is transferred to a body or to a physical system, recognizable in the performance of work and in the form of heat and light. Energy is a conserved quantity—the law of conservation of energy states that energy can be converted in form, but not created or destroyed. The unit of measurement for energy in the International System of Units (SI) is the joule (J). Common forms of energy include the kinetic energy of a moving object, the potential energy stored by an object (for instance due to its position in a field), the elastic energy stored in a solid object, chemical energy associated with chemical reactions, the radiant energy carried by electromagnetic radiation, and the internal energy contained within a thermodynamic system. All living organisms constantly take in and release energy. Due to mass–energy equivalence, any object that has mass when ...

Brunsbüttel
Brunsbüttel () is a town in the district of Dithmarschen, in Schleswig-Holstein, northern Germany that lies at the mouth of the Elbe river, near the North Sea. It is the location of the western entrance to the Kiel Canal. History The earliest reference to the town is in a document dated 14 July 1286. With the construction of the Kiel Canal (german: Nord-Ostsee-Kanal) in 1911, the town was divided in two. During the opening days of World War II, on 4 September 1939, the No. 149 Squadron RAF carried out the second bombing of that war, targeting warships near the town. Economy Brunsbüttel became an industrial area in the 1960s and 1970s.

FSRU
Regasification is a process of converting liquefied natural gas (LNG) at −162 °C (−260 °F) temperature back to natural gas at atmospheric temperature. LNG gasification plants can be located on land as well as on floating barges, i.e. a Floating Storage and Regasification Unit (FSRU). Floating barge mounted plants have the advantage that they can be towed to new offshore locations for better usage in response to changes in the business environment. In a conventional regasification plantRU, LNG is heated by sea water to convert it to natural gas / methane gas. Byproducts In addition to regasification, many valuable industrial byproducts can be produced using cold energy of LNG. Cold energy of LNG utilisation, for extracting liquid oxygen and nitrogen gas from air, makes LNG-regasification plants more viable when they are located near integrated steel plants and/or urea plants. Cold energy of LNG usage in lieu of massive and energy intensive cryogenic refrigeration units in n ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Wilhelmshaven LNG Terminal
Wilhelmshaven LNG terminal is Germany's first liquefied natural gas (LNG) shipping liquefied natural gas terminal, terminal, situated near Wilhelmshaven, Germany on the North Sea. It had been in the planning stages since the mid-2010s, and in 2022 gained rapid regulatory authority approval for construction following the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, Russian invasion of Ukraine and the 2022 global gas crises, global natural gas supply crisis. The terminal was opened on 17 December 2022 with of LNG imported from Spain, following completion of construction in November 2022. The terminal received its commissioning load of LNG in December 2022, slightly ahead of schedule which had been January 2023. History Planning began for the LNG carrier, LNG shipping terminal as early as 2017, but regulatory authority, regulatory process and political opposition resulted in years of delays in preparing German capacity to import large quantities of natural gas from seaborne LNG shipment ...
