Due to the foreign policy situation in spring 2022, the German government decided to build a land-based import terminal for liquefied natural gas in Brunsbüttel in cooperation with the Dutch state-owned infrastructure operator Gasunie and the German energy company RWE.
After opening as early as possible in 2027, the terminal will enable the continuous and future-oriented import of liquefied energy sources. In regular operation, it will initially ensure the reliable import of conventional natural gas in liquid form (LNG). By 2043 at the latest, the terminal will be converted to import a more contemporary form of energy, probably hydrogen derivatives.
We, German LNG Terminal GmbH, based in Brunsbüttel, are the builders and operators of the import terminal. Our team of specialists is managing the careful and rapid implementation of this important large-scale project.
The contribution that this terminal will make to the energy supply immediately after completion and beyond is not abstract, but very concrete: we are talking about the energy supply for our own homes, hospitals, retirement homes and daycare centres, as well as the connection to industry.
On this website, you can find out everything you need to know about the LNG terminal currently under construction in Brunsbüttel. The illustrations are to be understood as models.
