Neptune: LNG terminal encounters shared opinions in Mukran
The floating LNG terminal "Neptune" recently arrived in Mukran and has caused mixed reactions in the community. The "Floating Storage and Regasification Unit" can load LNG, heat and convert into natural gas to feed it into the European gas removal network. Ingo Wagner, managing partner of the German regas, emphasized the importance of the terminal for security of supply.
The "Neptune" is one of the first floating LNG terminals in Germany and was put into operation in Lubmin in early 2023. However, there are critical voices regarding the terminal that fear overcapacity and environmental damage. Nevertheless, the federal government defends the project to reduce the dependence on Russian gas, especially after the Russian attack on Ukraine.
The discussion about the LNG terminal "Neptune" reflects broader debates on environmental protection, climate change and energy security. The need for a separate import infrastructure for LNG is intensively discussed by supporters and opponents of the project.
