The Wilhelmshaven LNG Terminal

UP THE TEMPO. EXPAND THE LEAD.

We’ve accelerated our efforts – to store as much gas as we can. In 2022 we proved we can up the tempo: constructing a cutting-edge port facility in Wilhelmshaven in record time to enable the turnover of liquid natural gas (LNG). A vital step – but in light of 2040, still just an interim solution.

ACCEPTING COMPROMISES. TO SAVE THE CLIMATE.

A country that aims to be climate-neutral by 2045 needs absolute determination – and a lot of patience. Because the energy transition is not an abrupt change, it’s a decade-long process. One that aims to increase the share of renewable energy in our supply as quickly as possible.

Getting there currently means using bridging technologies, including controversial ones, such as CCS, or liquid natural gas, LNG for short. Technologies that may not fully conform to climate targets for 2045 but that will take us in the right direction at high speed. Technologies that do their job but have a set expiry date.
