Gas storage facilities in Germany are more than 90% full, according to data released by the Aggregated Gas Storage Inventory (AGSI), a European energy data platform. The German government has planned for 95% of storage capacity to be filled by November. The storage is seen as essential for Germany to get through winter without Russian gas imports. "If everything goes well, savings in Germany are high and if we have a bit of luck with the weather, we will have a chance at getting through the winter comfortably," Economy Minister Robert Habeck said on Monday. "That means, however, that the storage facilities will be empty again at the end of the winter - in this case really empty, because we are going to use the gas," he added.
Germany seeks alternative gas sources
Russia had supplied about 40% of the European Union's gas before its February invasion of Ukraine. In early September, Russian energy giant Gazprom said gas supplies to Western Europe via the Nord Stream 1 pipeline had stopped entirely, claiming equipment issues. The German government has accused Moscow of "weaponizing" gas deliveries in response to Berlin's support of Ukraine and EU sanctions.
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz was expected to sign contracts for liquefied natural gas (LNG) during his visit to the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Economic Affairs and Climate Action Minister Robert Habeck said on Monday. "The gas offering is slowly broadening," he said. Habeck was touring Lubmin, where the construction of one of Germany's new liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminals was set to start. The construction is part of a plan to stop the country's dependency on Russian fossil fuels in the wake of the war in Ukraine. "We must show that, in times like these, we can plan, authorize and build faster than is usually the case in Germany," Habeck said of the construction drive. Scholz will visit Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) at the weekend, and Germany's energy needs are high on the agenda.

I DON NOT UNDERSTAND they keep "harping on" about this... SIMPLE FACTS There does NOT EXIST enough gas to replace the Russian gas. Russia sold around 150 billion M3 of gas / year to Europe, THIS GAS CAN NOT BE SOLD TO ANYBODY ELSE because these pipelines goes to Europe. The 3 largest LNG exporters in the world, USA, Qatar, Australia export around 300 billion M3/ year (Russia is the worlds 4th largest LNG exporter) EU WOULD NEED 50% of this... BUT this gas already have customers.... YES Europe MAYBE could outbid these countries but THAT WOULD BE VERY EXPENSIVE as we can see when Gas in Europe is up > 1000% compared to 5 year average price. So... MAYBE EU could get hold of the gas BUT IT WON''T be economically feasible. AND it would starve the rest of the world of gas... So really... Europe CAN NOT AFFORD to skip Russian gas, industries are already closing down. The questions is not IF Europe could get hold of energy... MAYBE it can BUT Europe NEEDS CHEAP ENERGY. THAT IT CAN NOT GET. Industry can't just "wait" for 5-10 years they can't wait for 6-12 months

We only have 3 reactors left and two of those are now outfitted to be kept operating for a year or two longer if necessary (they were supposed to go offline by the end of the year). Apart from that, the German people have decided quite some time ago, that nuclear energy is expensive, very risky (just look at all the scary reports on Zaporizhzhia now) and an unacceptable burden to future generations. We will stick by this decision - end of story. Why is everyone so fussed about it? The three remaining reactors do not produce a large amount of German energy anyway.

Today Germany is buying lots of LNG that it didn't previously buy because of it's last 10 years of mistaken energy policy. It is driving up the price of LNG and making ME pay more for energy because of Germany's totally avoidable problems, but that's not the worst of it..... The LNG Germany buys this winter means that poorer countries can't afford to win the auctions and while Europe gets poorer due to German policy errors some parts of the world will have to go without LNG. Paying more doesn't suddenly create all the needed extra gas, it just makes it too expensive for the poorest in the world. Germany shouldn't be patting itself on the back for filling its tanks it should be apologizing to Ukraine and the rest of the world for empowering Putin and letting him out of his cage.

@Cliohna Год назад

@Michael Davison May I ask where you are from? In regards to the military aid, I think you failed to do your own research. There are some underlying problems you are seemingly not aware of. That said, among the small amount of military equipment that was sent is some of the most valuable out of all the military equipment that was sent (from all the countries), but to be fair, the Bundeswehr was not the only one who provided that kind of equipment, other countries provided the same out of their arsenals as well. But military aid is not the only thing that is important, there are areas which Germany was actually able to be more of service. The Bundeswehr deploys wounded Ukrainian soldiers from Poland since day one. The patients are send to different hospitals around Germany and Europe, esp. to trauma ambulances in big cities. The Bundeswehr does it with an Airbus 310 MedEvac. A flying hospital. The MedEvac Airbus is so unique that even USA sometimes asked Germany for that. It is specially designed for heavily traumatized people that need intensive care during transport. This is the most sophisticated flying hospital you can think of, but the best of it is not the plane, it is the people working on it. 100% highly qualified professionals, specialists for wounded soldiers, to take care of the patients, to save lives. It is one of a kind (I do not know if anyone else in NATO has something with similar capabilities). Plus Germany is the second biggest financial aid after the US. I mean, there is much and more to criticize, but I really don't know what you are trying to do here. Obviously German policies were a huge mistake which can't be corrected immediately and which entail their own problems and consequences, but it's also pretty obvious that the former government is not in power anymore and the new government does its best to support Ukraine without committing suicide (which isn't the same as selfishness).

If there is so much extra LNG being transported, where are the extra ships go to come from? It would be nice to build some new ships but that takes years to build a new ship.

Even Wolkswagon is thinking of shifting production out of Germany, Czech, and other eastern European countries. The storage tanks are full. And they will last all winter because at current prices no one can afford to buy that gas. However the stored gas will allow all these companies to shut down and move production overseas in an orderly manner. Quite a few companies will move production to China.

Probably yes. Based on cost analysis at current market rates, you're talking within a 10-15% price difference, and LNG is just a small part of the energy production (natural gas is ~12% of energy production, so probs a 5-10% energy price cost difference, and that was pre-Russia times the percentage, it's dropped now). Most of it goes into heating, which is the issue, and the electricity prices should stabilize by year-end anyways, since French nuclear reactors are coming back online, that's a major reason for the energy deficit in Europe.

Something interesting you may not have thought of with LNG is LNG is a liquid that needs to be turned into a gas to put into your natural gas network. While you may say "Duh!", there is an obvious point missed here. This is steam turbines work on the principle of of turning water into steam and the expansion of water into steam at least in part is used to generate electricity. With LNG the interesting thing is you only need outside air as a heat source to turn cryogenic LNG into 'steam' a.k.a. natural gas. So yeah, you could have a "cryo steam" power plant at your conversion facility as in you boil the dense LNG into voluminous natural gas and run a 'steam' turbine with it to generate electricity.

@paulschmidts5429 Год назад

The gas however also needs to be fed into the bulk transport pipeline grid afterwards, which runs at 200 bar. So you can’t do that much expansion right at port, what however you could do, is gain energy at the various fed in points for the distribution grid in cities running at 60 bar.

@ChaJ67 Год назад

@@paulschmidts5429 This is an interesting point you bring up. For whatever reason I thought the pressure was lower than this, but I am no expert, so defer to you. I thought turning LNG into gas in the same volume would be ~550 bar, so even 200 bar would be a big step down. In a way this is more efficient because say in a gas turbine expansion cools the gas alone and then each subsequent disk is less efficient at extracting energy from the working fluid as heat expands while cooling lowers the pressure. With this with each stage far apart, there is plenty of time for the gas to warm up before hitting the next step down in pressure. Thus the expanded and further re-warmed gas as it travels down the pipeline will create more volume for a more effective next stage. It is just now your "cryo power plant" using the environment as its heat source is distributed throughout the country and having the 200 bar at the top is a plus because then more power is generated closer to where it will be used.

Why we are not just hooking on to the receiving points of Nordstream 1 and 2? The receiving peers for LNG tanker are relatively fast to build. Naturally the Government has to take over the pipeline infrastructure through legal emergency procedure

I thought Germany was all solar and wind powered?

It is a *sweltering 30°C* here currently. Had we had a gas pipeline or a way to transport LNG gas (by rail and special wagons for example), we could be transporting stored natural to Central Europe while replenishing our stock again from Algeria or other mediterranean supplier. That’s geography and seasonality!!

@@saba1030 “EU is on negotiations with Algeria 😉” It is gas companies that do buy contracts with natural gas suppliers. The most EU can do is sort of diplomatic role, and that are usually done by countries’ PM or foreign ministers. Seriously !!, like EU would now go house to house supplying natural gas and checking the meter … 🧐 😳

@@lv3609 Yes, I thought doing a short cut, didn't work out though😉 Macron and some others from the EU (including represantatives from industry) have been in Algeria recently to talk about this subject 😉 As usual, when Habeck (as Fed. Minister for Economy and Environment) visits other countries, he usually takes represantitives from industry/ economy with him for business talk 😉

@@lv3609 idk much about that so imma keep it small but I would guess that currently the EU would heavily support the construction of critical infrastructure with looots of financial aid/=money which would make it much more appealing to companys xD

I think it was in context of germany getting trough the winter /without any/ economic damage which would be the best case and like really impressive if we look at our dependence from a year ago. At the end we will get trough the winter without major problems and thats the important part.

We have an abundance of LNG gas in the U.S. We also buy millions of your German cars, how about reciprocating trade? I've been to Europe, you don't buy many American cars at all....this seems fair.

LNG shipments don't even come close to what the pipeline could move unfortunately, and it's a lot more costly. Better off getting gas from North Sea and Norway etc.

Why would anyone buy an American car? The whole world would rather a Merc/BMW/Audi/Bugatti/Lambo/Porche/VW or Skoda over any American car. Your biggest seller is the F150.....Who wants that apart from you? Your gas....you can't make enough to meet exports which in turn is pushing up your domestic prices. Oil..... Do you still have any?, You sent a lot of your strategic reserves to China
