Germany鈥檚 government 聽for an LNG (liquefied natural gas) Acceleration Act to speed up planning and construction of necessary infrastructure for direct imports. Energy industry association BDEW聽聽the proposal that is part of a broader government initiative to wean the country off Russian fossil fuel imports. 鈥淔or the goal of being able to replace Russian gas supplies almost entirely with other sources by 2024, own [domestic] LNG terminals are indispensable,鈥� said BDEW head Kerstin Andreae. She said it can be justified in an exceptional situation like the present one, 鈥渨here the security of gas supply in Germany is at stake,鈥� to accelerate approval processes and thus also individual permit steps. Environmental NGO DUH, however,聽聽the plans and warned of an 鈥渙versized鈥� build-up of LNG infrastructure. 鈥淚n the interest of the environment and the climate, the following must apply: Only as much fossil energy as necessary, as little as possible,鈥� said managing director Sascha M眉ller-Kraenner.

The LNG act will now be debated in parliament (Bundestag), and the council of state governments (Bundesrat) must also agree for it to take effect,聽. The draft says the LNG import infrastructure to be built now must be fully converted to receive only climate-neutral hydrogen and derivates like ammonia by 2043, writes the news agency.

Germany is聽rapidly pushing several infrastructure projects for the import of liquefied natural gas (LNG)聽in order to reduce its dependence on Russian natural gas. Germany has a well-developed natural gas pipeline grid and is connected to terminals in neighbouring countries, but does not currently have its own port to receive LNG directly.
