Alternative energies - Stade terminal on land can import LNG until the end of 2043
Liquefied natural gas can be imported at the Stade LNG terminal on land until the end of 2043. This was announced on Wednesday by the project sponsors from the Hanseatic Energy Hub (HEH) consortium based in Hamburg. The aim is to switch to ammonia use in good time before the permit expires, said HEH Managing Director Johann Killinger. The date could be brought forward. According to the information provided, a new permit will be required after the changeover.
The terminal is scheduled to go into operation in 2027. Marketing has already been completed, said Killinger. It is fully booked as far as possible. Twelve billion cubic meters of gas per year have been awarded to EnBW, the former Gazprom subsidiary Sefe and the Czech company CEZ.
Following the switch to ammonia, the terminal will help to meet Germany's demand for hydrogen. Ammonia is being used as a means of transporting hydrogen, said Jörg Schmitz from the Dow chemicals group, which is involved in the project. Ammonia is to be converted into hydrogen.
In addition to the land-based LNG terminal in Stade, a floating terminal is also planned at the site. A jetty for liquefied gases, as the official title suggests, is to be handed over to the users by the federal state of Lower Saxony on Saturday, according to an invitation.
