The Netherlands – Groningen Seaports is investigating the possibility of building LNG storage at Eemshaven in the near future. It could be one of the solutions to reduce the dependence on Russian gas as quickly as possible.
The Dutch government wants to increase the import capacity of liquefied natural gas (LNG) in the Netherlands in the short term. Various options are being considered for this. One of these options is the deployment of a floating LNG facility in the Eemshaven, which could import an additional four billion cubic meters of gas.
Quick decisions
Gas transport company Gasunie and the Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs are working out the options so that a decision can be taken as quickly as possible.
