Germany Prepares for Gas Imports with Pipeline Expansions, Conversions

摘要

German gas pipeline companies have completed 28 of the 201 system expansions and conversions planned between 2020 and 2030, putting them on track to handle the increased imports expected by the end of the decade, industry group FNB reported. Germany's northwest and the Netherlands are already phasing out production of their local, low-calorific gas type, meaning transport, storage infrastructure and boilers must be changed to accommodate imported gas that is high-calorific.
