Lubmin (dpa/mv) - According to the German Environmental Aid (DUH), the terminal for liquefied natural gas currently being built in Lubmin must not be approved. The environmental and consumer protection organization submitted a corresponding objection to the responsible state office on Monday, it said in a statement. The application documents left out important parts of the project.
The DUH criticized, for example, that the planned shipping traffic through the protected Greifswalder Bodden, any interactions with neighboring nuclear facilities in Lubmin or the consequences of climate change had not been sufficiently taken into account. In addition, the impression was created that one wanted to benefit from statutory exemptions by specifying an excessively high feed-in capacity.
The deadline for objections to the State Office for Agriculture and the Environment in Western Pomerania (Stalu) should end on Monday. The company behind the terminal, Deutsche Regas, had always stated December 1st - Thursday - as the target date by which the system should be ready for operation. A large special ship, which is to receive the liquefied natural gas in Lubmin and bring it back into the gaseous state, arrived in Mukran on Rügen last week and still has to be brought to Lubmin.
