RWE hands over LNG infrastructure in Brunsbüttel to Deutsche Energy Terminal
RWE chartered the Hoegh Gannet floating LNG terminal on behalf of the German government after the start of the Russian war of aggression in February 2022 and built the corresponding infrastructure in Brunsbüttel to strengthen Germany’s security of supply and reduce its dependence on Russian pipeline gas. The Elbehafen project was realised in record time and put into operation by RWE during 2023. Since the beginning of 2023, liquefied natural gas (LNG) has been imported directly to Germany via Brunsbüttel. As always intended, DET has now taken over the LNG infrastructure and sole operational management in Brunsbüttel.
