LNG imports: Vopak becomes a shareholder in the 'EemsEnergyTerminal'
The Dutch shipping terminal operator Vopak is taking over 50 per cent of the shares in the 'EemsEnergy' LNG terminal in Eemshaven.
Source: energate A corresponding agreement in principle has been concluded with Gasunie, which has been the sole operator to date. The takeover is to be completed on 1 October 2023, Vopak announced. In response to the Russian war against Ukraine and the resulting risks for gas supply, Gasunie has built a floating LNG terminal in Eemshaven with a capacity of 8 billion cubic metres per year. It has been in operation since September 2022. Together, Vopak and Gasunie now want to explore the possibilities for expanding capacity and importing green hydrogen. |
