Bonn Germany’s multi-billion dollar terminals for importing liquefied natural gas (LNG) only account for a fraction of Germany’s gas imports around six months after they were launched. This comes from data from the Federal Network Agency. According to this, Germany imported a total of around 526 terawatt hours of gas in the first half of 2023, almost half of it from Norway. In contrast, only 33.8 terawatt hours came via the three LNG terminals in Wilhelmshaven, Brunsbüttel and Lubmin. This corresponds to a share of 6.4 percent.
