Hanseatic Energy Hub GmbH is developing an import terminal that will help secure the supply of LNG and green gases from Germany, while preparing for hydrogen to take off on the market
Madrid, April 18.- Hanseatic Energy Hub GmbH is developing an import terminal that will contribute to ensuring the supply of LNG and green gases from Germany, while at the same time making it possible to prepare for the take-off of hydrogen in the market. The German company has awarded the design and development of the regasification terminal, free of emissions, to a consortium led by Técnicas Reunidas and made up of the Spanish FCC Industrial and Entrade GMBH (a 100% subsidiary of the Turkish company ENKA). This is an EPC (Engineering , Procurement and Construction) for the construction of a new liquefied gas storage and regasification terminal in the river port of Stade, which is part of the metropolitan region of Hamburg (Germany). The land on which the facility will be built belongs to the large chemical company Dow Chemicals, which is participating in the project as one of the promoting partners. The terminal will use Dow’s industrial waste heat, so it will be able to regasify the gases without additional CO2 emissions. The new terminal will have a nominal capacity of 13.3 Bm3 per year and will involve a total investment of close to 1,000 million euros. The project has been divided into two phases. The first, which includes preliminary work and engineering, will last 5 months. The second, which constitutes the main contract, is subject to the Final Investment Decision of the Hanseatic Energy Hub, scheduled for next summer. Técnicas Reunidas will design the regasification terminal and the two storage tanks, each with a capacity of 240,000 meters cubic, and will carry out all the work of supplying equipment and materials for the project. This project is part of the long experience and know-how of Técnicas Reunidas in the design and development of this type of plant, aimed at optimizing performance and minimizing environmental impact. FCC Industrial, with extensive experience in the construction of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) will build the tanks. In addition, it will carry out all the activities of preparing the land and civil works of the plant. The company has designed, built and commissioned several LNG storage plants in Spain, Finland and Chile. Specifically, in Spain it has built 8 LNG facilities with the capacity to supply 1.53 million homes thanks to the storage of 1.1 Mm3 of LNG.Entrade GMBH, one of the strongest engineering and construction companies in the world and with works in progress near Stade, will be in charge of the electromechanical assembly activities. It is estimated that the complete execution of the plant will last until 2027 This terminal constitutes an important element of the current energy policy of Germany, which has among its main objectives to diversify its supply of natural gas with liquefied natural gas (LNG) and “green gases”, while preparing for the take-off of hydrogen on the market. The Hanseatic Energy Hub has underlined that “the hub is a flexible modular system for the future and oriented towards the green energy transition that will take advantage of the various opportunities of the energy region of Stade.The terminal, the port, the industrial park and the connection infrastructure are designed so that the conversion can be carried out in a modular way”.
