The plans for the liquid gas terminal in the port of Hamburg have burst. The project would be too expensive and too complicated.
Hamburg – A liquid gas terminal in the port of Hamburg should make northern Germany independent of Russian gas supplies. But the plans have now collapsed.
24hamburg.de reveals why Hamburg is not getting an LNG terminal after all and what the alternatives are.
Actually, a floating LNG terminal in the port of Hamburg, which turns LNG back into gas and feeds it into the gas network in northern Germany, should help in the fight against the energy crisis. But the plans had to be put on hold. The reasons: The area in the port would first have to be freed from silt with excavators, the southern port would have been temporarily cut off for shipping and Hamburg should not receive any financial aid from the federal government. The Hamburg Senate therefore withdrew the project. Instead, they are now examining whether there are other ways to use the port sensibly.
