We are building a combined import and distribution terminal in Brunsbüttel. The project site is located in Brunsbüttel on the river Elbe on a plot of land measuring approximately 31 hectares, near the entrance to the Kiel Canal and in the immediate vicinity of Schleswig-Holstein’s largest contiguous industrial area, ChemCoast Park. Brunsbüttel thus offers ideal conditions for the establishment of the LNG terminal.
ChemCoast Park is home to a large number of companies in energy-intensive industries – a major location advantage for the terminal. On the one hand, given their high energy requirements, they are potential customers for LNG or regasified natural gas. On the other hand, they can supply the terminal with the (waste) heat required to regasify the natural gas in the LNG vaporiser system using hot water. Furthermore, the water used to heat the LNG remains clean and can then be used as cooling water in the neighbouring industrial area.
In addition, the Port of Hamburg can be reached from Brunsbüttel by ship in approximately three hours, and the local industry, as well as container and cruise ships calling there, can be supplied with LNG. Cuxhaven, Bremen/Bremerhaven and other ports are also within easy reach. The nearby Kiel Canal also offers the possibility of distributing LNG from Brunsbüttel to Scandinavia and the Baltic States using smaller ships.
