Germany’s most strategic construction site is located at the end of a pier on the North Sea coast, where workers are installing the country’s first LNG import terminal. From winter, the platform at the port of Wilhelmshaven will be able to supply the equivalent of 20% of the gas imported from Russia.

Since invading Ukraine, Moscow has slashed gas supplies to Germany and the Nord Stream gas pipelines, which carried huge volumes of gas across the Baltic Sea to Europe last week, have been damaged in what a Danish-Swedish report describes as “working.”

And said that “in the context of finding alternative sources, the German government has spent billions on five projects like the one in Wilhelmshaven, and it is expected that the new fleet will be able to handle a total gas volume of about 25 billion cubic meters per year, which is equivalent to almost half capacity of the Nord Stream 1 gas pipeline.
