BAKU, Azerbaijan, June 6. Germany plans to
commission two LNG terminals in 2024, Uniper's Vice President
Michael Hilmer said during today's panel discussion themed "Gas
Dialogue: The Role of gas supply During the energy Crisis" at the
29th Baku Energy Forum in Azerbaijan, Trend reports.
“By the end of this year, two new LNG terminals in Germany will
be commissioned with a throughput capacity of about five billion
cubic meters each. Thus, a significant volume of gas will become
available to the country,” he emphasized.
According to him, Germany managed to significantly reduce the
consumption of Russian gas by replacing imports with supplies from
the US.
“Currently, the majority of LNG volumes in Germany are supplied
by US companies,” he added.

which began on June 5, representing a diverse range of countries

Norway, UAE, Qatar, Romania, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Slovenia,
Sweden, Switzerland, Ukraine, the UK, the US, and Uzbekistan. This
year's forum boasts a record number of speakers, totaling 81.
The Forum's agenda will address energy issues of significance
for Azerbaijan and the broader Caspian region, focusing primarily
on considerations and financing related to energy security, energy
transition, and green energy projects.
