Germany has completed construction of its first floating terminal to receive liquefied natural gas (LNG), which its economy minister said would be vital to securing energy supplies to the country over the winter months.
Robert Habeck described the first of five planned floating terminals at the North Sea port of Wilhelmshaven as “a central building block for the security of our energy supplies this coming winter”, as Germany races to find alternatives to Russian pipeline gas, on which it had relied for years until supplies were halted during the invasion of Ukraine.
