The entire site will benefit from this,\u201d said Markus Krebber, CEO of RWE.<\/p>\n<p>As early as 2026, around 300,000 tonnes of green ammonia per year are expected to arrive in Germany via the terminal. The next step is to build a cracker on a large industrial scale at the terminal to produce green hydrogen on site, which would be transported via a dedicated hydrogen pipeline.\u00a0<\/p>\n<div class=\"mailmunch-forms-in-post-middle\" style=\"display: none !important;\"><\/div>\n<p>RWE estimated investments in the mid three-digit million euro range. With this expansion stage, an increase in the volume of ammonia to 2m tonnes per year is also planned. Brunsb\u00fcttel Ports is supporting the project with space and as a logistics partner with port infrastructure to unload tankers. The site has direct access to the North Sea and the Baltic Sea, and is also connected to European inland waterways.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Robert Habeck, minister of German economic affairs and climate, welcomed the project, saying: \u201cRussia\u2019s brutal war against Ukraine has made it abundantly clear that we must become independent of fuel imports from Russia. The LNG terminal in Brunsb\u00fcttel is an important element in this, as it will increase the capabilities to import gas to Germany. Green ammonia as a liquefied hydrogen derivative can make an important contribution to supplying Germany with green hydrogen. At the same time, we can gain important experience with this project for the conversion from LNG to green hydrogen or hydrogen derivatives.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"mailmunch-forms-after-post\" style=\"display: none !important;\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"stream-item stream-item-below-post-content\">\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-1_95_0_1_2\"> <script>googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1_95_0_1_2'); });<\/script> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-bottom-meta post-bottom-tags post-tags-modern\">\n<div class=\"post-bottom-meta-title\">\n<span class=\"tie-icon-tags\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span> Tags<\/div>\n<p><span class=\"tagcloud\"><a href=\"https:\/\/splash247.com\/tag\/ammonia\/\" rel=\"tag\">Ammonia<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/splash247.com\/tag\/germany\/\" rel=\"tag\">Germany<\/a><\/span>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>splash247<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hot on the heels of a memorandum of understanding to build the first German LNG terminal in Brunsb\u00fcttel near Hamburg, the country\u2019s energy firm RWE has announced plans to develop an ammonia import terminal in the immediate vicinity.
