The receiving ceremony of the natural gas receiving station was held on a float -liquefied natural gas storage and re -gasized device transport ship.The storage ship is full of natural gas from Nigeria, which can be used for 50,000 households for one year.
(French New Power in France of William) The first liquefied natural gas receiving station in Germany held an enlightenment ceremony on Saturday (December 17).The completion time of this receiving station also set a record.
The LNG natural gas (LNG) receiving station located at Wilhelmshaven, Beihai Port, hosted by German Chancellor State, the opening ceremony.The ceremony was held on a floating liquefied natural gas storage and re -gasized device (FSRU) transport ship named Hoegh Esperanza.The main function of the FSRU is to store and re -gasification of LNG. After the LNG accepted by other LNG ships is compressed and gasified, it is transported to the user.
The storage ship transport ship has been filled with natural gas from Nigeria, which can be used for 50,000 households for one year.UniPer, an energy company responsible for the construction and operation of the LNG receiving station of William Port, announced on July 4 this year that the construction permit was announced, and the project was completed as scheduled.The receiving station will be delivered on December 22.
The German plan plans to open four more liquefied natural gas receiving stations funded by the government in the next few months, and open a private receiving station at the Lubmin in the north.Starting next year, these receiving stations can transport 30 billion cubic meters of natural gas annually, accounting for one -third of the total demand for natural gas in Germany.
Germany did not have liquefied natural gas receiving stations before, and 55%of natural gas supply relies on Russian transportation.However, since Russia invaded Ukraine, the supply of natural gas in Germany has been limited, and the Berlin government has been forced to rely on the liquefied natural gas processed by Belgium, France and the Netherlands to pay high transportation costs.Germany is therefore eager to invest in building its own liquefied natural gas receiving station and spend billions of euros to rent FSRU.
Germany has no intention of signing a natural gas long -term contract
However, Germany has not signed the main long -term contract to supply natural gas for the receiving station since January next year.Researcher at the University of Potsdam told the France -France -France -France -France: "The import ability has been available, but I am worried about delivery."
Germany has signed a contract from Qatar to supply liquefied natural gas to the port receiving station of William, but it will not be delivered until 2026.
The supplier hopes to sign a long -term contract with the German government, but the German side is not keen to be affected by the many years of natural gas transaction contracts, because its goal is to achieve the goal of carbon neutrality by 2045.
Schroed, an energy expert of market information analysis company ICIS, pointed out that with China's relaxation of epidemic prevention control, energy demand may rise.He said: "In recent months, Europe can have so many liquefied natural gas supply, because China's demand is very low."
Qatar said China recently signed a 27 -year natural gas procurement agreement, which is the longest period of the longest period of time.
Compared with last year, the use of natural gas in Germany has currently decreased by 13 %, but the government hopes that this number can be close to 20 %.
According to the International Energy Agency (IEA) report, by 2023, the supply and demand gap in Europe may reach 27 billion cubic meters, equivalent to 6.5 % of the EU annual consumption.
