[Germany] Lubmin LNG Terminal

Unread post by escveritas »

Phase I from December 2022

Deutsche ReGas is a medium-sized company that runs the LNG terminal in Lubmin “German Baltic Sea” developed. Deutsche ReGas has had a special ship since mid-December 2022 (Floating Storage Unit - FSRU) stationed in the industrial port of Lubmin to store liquefied natural gas (LNG) in to convert (regasify) natural gas. From the FSRU 1, the natural gas is only 450 meters remote German long-distance gas pipeline network (EUGAL/NEL). To the shallow depth of the front Lubmin located Greifswalder Bodden account, was outside of the Greifswalder Boddens in the Baltic Sea a tanker (Floating Storage Unit - FSU) is stationed at the LNG tanker up 170,000 m³ can dock and transfer their LNG. From there three shuttle ships (Small LNG Carrier – SLNGC) to transport the LNG to FSRU 1 in the industrial port of Lubmin. In this phase, the terminal will feed up to 5.2 billion m³ of natural gas into the German long-distance gas network.

Despite the size of the FSRU 1, normal port operations in the Lubmin industrial port are Maintain use of harbor tugs. The FSRU 1 and all other ships are managed by chartered and paid for by Deutsche ReGas. It is not one of the five of the Federal government funded FSRUs. The terminal “Deutsche Ostsee” is nevertheless economical and competitive compared to all other LNG terminals. The decisive advantage exists however, in the fact that no relevant infrastructure measures or environmental interventions were carried out Need to become.

Phase II from December 2023

In phase II, from December 2023, outside the Greifswalder Bodden, but within the German sovereign waters, an additional FSRU 2, also specially equipped for connection to submarine pipelines, is stationed and is to be attached to an already existing or until then heu constructed offshore pipeline. The technology for the connection is given.

This means that a total of up to 11.5 billion m³ of natural gas (FSRU 1 import + FSRU 2 in the Baltic Sea) into the German gas pipeline network (EUGAL/NEL). the Transmission capacity for these gas quantities is not a problem in East Germany Gas pipeline network available.

Phase III from 2024

In the summer of 2024, the FSRU 1 will move from the port to the location of the offshore pipeline lying FSRU 2 relocated. This increases the LNG regasification capacity in Phase III to up to to 13.5 billion m³ of natural gas. At the same time, in the same place where FSRU 1 was previously located in the port, a for the import of hydrogen specialized barge (ship without own propulsion) installed, to which analogous to the LNG transport regime, hydrogen is transported and regasified. The innovative The transport medium of our hydrogen partner APEX is artificial formic acid, the main one Has environmental benefits over ammonia. The hydrogen is either in that be fed into the long-distance gas pipeline network or filled into containers

Commissioning of the floating LNG regasification unit delivered by TotalEnergies to Lubmin terminal in Germany

Paris, January 13, 2023 - TotalEnergies announces the start-up of the Deutsche Ostsee LNG import terminal for liquefied natural gas (LNG). Operated by Deutsche ReGas and located in Lubmin on the German Baltic Sea coast, the site’s official inauguration will take place tomorrow, attended by German Federal Chancellor Olaf Scholz. This project, to which TotalEnergies is contributing a floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) and supplying LNG, will make the Company one of Germany’s main LNG suppliers.

In December 2022, TotalEnergies delivered the Neptune – one of the Company's two floating storage and regasification units) – to Deutsche ReGas. The vessel has an annual regasification capacity of 5 billion cubic meters of gas, enough to cover about 5% of German demand.

Following Deutsche ReGas’s open season procedure, in October 2022, TotalEnergies also contracted regasification capacity of 2.6 billion cubic meters of gas per year and began to deliver LNG from its global integrated portfolio to the Lubmin terminal.

“Europe is facing a historic gas supply crisis caused by the sharp drop in flows from Russia. Since the beginning of this crisis, TotalEnergies has mobilized its LNG portfolio, which is broad and flexible, to send available LNG to Europe and to use its 18 Mt/y regasification capacity. Thanks to the start-up of the Lubmin terminal, TotalEnergies will be able to add to this effort and increase its imports to Europe to over 20 Mt/y, or about 15% of the continent’s regasification capacity. We are pleased to support this project, which will allow Germany and Europe to further secure gas supply,” said Stéphane Michel, President Gas, Renewables & Power at TotalEnergies.

Following the arrival (or provision) of the Neptune, an FSRU (Floating Storage & Offloading Unit), in December 2022, TotalEnergies has announced the start-up of the Deutsche Ostsee LNG import terminal for liquefied natural gas (LNG). This project will consolidate TotalEnergies' position as the world's third largest LNG player and Europe's leading regasification player.

Located on the Baltic Sea coast in northeast Germany, the Port of Lubmin took delivery of the country's first floating import terminal for liquefied natural gas in December 2022. Chartered by TotalEnergies, the Neptune FSRU is now being operated by Deutsche ReGas.

FSRUs: flexible solutions for quickly scaling up LNG import capacities

FSRUs - floating storage regasification units - are water-based LNG terminals. Ships carrying liquefied natural gas (LNG) moor alongside the FSRU and unload their cargo, which is stored in liquid format before being regasified. These terminals are capable of quickly transporting LNG using few non-existing infrastructures, i.e. a jetty and a connection to a high-pressure pipe for unloading the gas. The regasified LNG is then exported to onshore facilities and injected into the gas transmission network.

The Neptune boasts an annual regasification capacity of 5 billion cubic meters of gas. The terminal isnow operational and will cover 5% of the country's annual consumption. The Company holds a regasification capacity of 2.6 billion cubic meters of gas a year within the terminal.

TotalEnergies project in Germany

The commissioning of the Deutsche Ostsee LNG import terminal for liquefied natural gas (LNG) will reinforce the Company's status as one of the main LNG suppliers in Germany. As a testament to the project's importance, the site's inauguration was attended by German Federal Chancellor Olaf Scholz. This project, to which TotalEnergies is contributing a floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) and supplying LNG, is helping secure the country's energy supplies by covering approximately 5% of German demand.
