Not even a molecule of Russian gas: the LNG terminal in Eemshaven, the Netherlands, is celebrating its first anniversary. Twenty-one ships with gas destined for the Czech Republic have already arrived
Eemshaven was the very first terminal for liquefied natural gas put into operation in Europe after the start of the war in Ukraine. The facility can process up to eight billion cubic metres of gas a year, of which up to three billion are destined for the Czech Republic, a volume equal to more than a third of the country’s annual consumption. The multinationals Shell and Engie also use the terminal besides CEZ. No Russian gas has ever arrived at the terminal, one of the specific conditions in the tender.
