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 ...

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 ...

Floating Storage And Regasification Unit
A floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) unit is a floating vessel used by the offshore oil and gas industry for the production and processing of hydrocarbons, and for the storage of oil. An FPSO vessel is designed to receive hydrocarbons produced by itself or from nearby platforms or subsea template, process them, and store oil until it can be offloaded onto a tanker or, less frequently, transported through a pipeline. FPSOs are preferred in frontier offshore regions as they are easy to install, and do not require a local pipeline infrastructure to export oil. FPSOs can be a conversion of an oil tanker (like the '' Seawise Giant'') or can be a vessel built specially for the application. A vessel used only to store oil (without processing it) is referred to as a floating storage and offloading (FSO) vessel. The first of a related type, floating liquefied natural gas vessels, went into service in 2016. Types FPSOs are classified into the following types. * ...

Demand (economics)
In economics, demand is the quantity of a good that consumers are willing and able to purchase at various prices during a given time. The relationship between price and quantity demand is also called the demand curve. Demand for a specific item is a function of an item's perceived necessity, price, perceived quality, convenience, available alternatives, purchasers' disposable income and tastes, and many other options. Factors influencing demand Innumerable factors and circumstances affect a consumer's willingness or to buy a good. Some of the common factors are: The price of the commodity: The basic demand relationship is between potential prices of a good and the quantities that would be purchased at those prices. Generally, the relationship is negative, meaning that an increase in price will induce a decrease in the quantity demanded. This negative relationship is embodied in the downward slope of the consumer demand curve. The assumption of a negative relationship is reason ...

Venture Global LNG
Liquefied natural gas (LNG) is natural gas (predominantly methane, CH4, with some mixture of ethane, C2H6) that has been cooled down to liquid form for ease and safety of non-pressurized storage or transport. It takes up about 1/600th the volume of natural gas in the gaseous state (at standard conditions for temperature and pressure). LNG is odorless, colorless, non-toxic and non-corrosive. Hazards include flammability after vaporization into a gaseous state, freezing and asphyxia. The liquefaction process involves removal of certain components, such as dust, acid gases, helium, water, and heavy hydrocarbons, which could cause difficulty downstream. The natural gas is then condensed into a liquid at close to atmospheric pressure by cooling it to approximately ; maximum transport pressure is set at around (gauge pressure), which is about one-fourth times atmospheric pressure at sea level. The gas extracted from underground hydrocarbon deposits contains a varying mix of hy ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
