Rügen's LNG terminal: Further operation approved despite environmental concerns!
The controversial LNG terminal on Rügen is continued without the initially planned country current, as the Ministry of Environment of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania announced. The decision allows the operator, the German regas, in the transition phase until there is a change permit, to continue to convert liquid earth gas (LNG) into gas, but under strict conditions. This situation arises because the company currently uses generators on board regasification ships instead of the more environmentally friendly country current. These generators produce noise and pollutants and require an adaptation so that the maximum permissible operating time of certain engines is limited to 70 percent by the end of June. href = "https://www.n-tv.de/regionales/mecklenburg-vorpommern/ruegener-lng-terminal-farf-ahn-landstrom-Weiterlaufen-article2547758.html"> n-tv.de reported.
But time is pushing! The responsible authorities want to decide on the further operating conditions by Christmas, but you must first wait for outstanding documents from the operators to contain the measurement results on noise and exhaust gases. If the approval is not given, this could also result in a reduction in gas feed-in. Backhaus pointed out that it was necessary to intensively check the incoming data in order to ensure the effects on the environment and compliance with the requirements, such as nordkurier.de reported.
strict requirements and environmental compatibility
In addition, the transfer of tank gas to other ships remains prohibited in the terminal until there is a corresponding approval with a comprehensive environmental impact assessment. Environmental associations have welcomed the strict requirements and are calling for a precise examination of the effects of port drafting on the environment. The most recent criticism arose after an LNG umbrella took place to Scandinavia without permission. The current measures are intended to ensure that there are no further environmental damage in the transition phase up to the final approval.
