Tanks and Terminals,
Nikkiso CE&IG is manufacturing high-pressure, low-pressure, and ship-loading pumps for the project, which is being built by German LNG Terminal GmbH and scheduled to be operational in 2027.
The terminal includes two LNG tanks, each with a capacity of 165 000 m3, and will have the capacity to send 10 billion m3/yr of gas into Germany’s national grid once operational. The project is built around infrastructure for LNG, bio-LNG, and synthetic natural gas (SNG), but is also designed to enable the transition to even lower-carbon fuel alternatives like hydrogen in the future.
Nikkiso CE&IG has been contracted by the lead EPC contractor, CS Gas North S.L., to provide the pumps for the project.
Ole Skatka-Jensen, Regional Vice President for Europe, Middle East and Africa at Nikkiso CE&IG, said: “The German LNG Terminal is a crucial part of Germany’s energy future thanks to the supply of LNG and green gases, as well as preparing for the future hydrogen economy.
“Both Nikkiso CE&IG’s presence and our contribution to major energy transition projects in Europe continues to grow. We have expertise in providing equipment and servicing support for not just LNG, but also hydrogen and ammonia, and we are proud to be part of such an important project for Germany and Europe’s move to these lower-carbon fuels.”
The award of the contract with CS Gas North S.L follows a similar contract for the Hanseatic Energy Hub in Stade, where Nikkiso CE&IG is supplying 20 low-pressure and nine high-pressure pumps for Germany's largest land-based terminal for liquefied gases.
