06 February 2023, Schleswig-Holstein, Brunsbüttel: Tobias Goldschmidt (Bündnis 90/Die Grünen), Minister for Energy Transition, Climate Protection, Environment and Nature, speaks at the Elbehafen port after the arrival of the last pipes for connecting the Brunsbüttel LNG terminal to the German gas grid. The last pipes have been unloaded for the connection of the LNG import terminal to the Northwest European gas grid. The new connection pipeline, consisting of 3,000 pipes, will also be suitable for transporting hydrogen. Germany wants to use imported liquefied natural gas (LNG) to replace missing Russian gas supplies. Photo: Marcus Brandt/dpa
