Germany will use Nord Stream to build a terminal for liquefied gas.

Germany plans to open the Baltic terminal for liquefied natural gas (LNG), connected to Russia’s Nord Stream gas pipeline network’s infrastructure, by the beginning of 2024.

According to Bloomberg, the plan was discussed on April 20 during a closed-door meeting with Chancellor Olaf Scholz and Economy Minister Robert Habeck.

The pipeline will be connected to the existing gas infrastructure in Lubmin in the spring of 2024, Khabek said. This will be the connection point on the mainland, where the inactive Nord Stream pipes also end.

The country’s Ministry of Economy announced on April 20 that the government bought unused pipes belonging to the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline to construct a terminal near Rügen Island. However, a spokeswoman for the ministry said she could not confirm Habek’s comments concerning the deadlines.
