The partnership between RWE and the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) for the supply of liquefied natural gas (LNG) becomes visible with the arrival of the “Ish” as the first delivery to Brunsbuettel Elbehafen port. At this stage, the LNG will be regasified and injected into the German gas grid via the floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU), which has been chartered by RWE on behalf of the German government. 137,000 cubic meters of LNG were shipped by ADNOC from Das Island, Abu Dhabi to Brunsbuettel, corresponding to over 82 million cubic meters of regasified natural gas and 900 million kilowatt-hours of energy.

ADNOC’s future LNG supplies to Germany

In addition, RWE and ADNOC already signed a memorandum of understanding last year to secure future LNG supplies to Germany from 2023. These supplies can be transported to Germany via floating or land-based terminals that are ready to operate.

Andree Stracke, CEO of RWE Supply & Trading said: “After the arrival of the floating terminal in mid-January, the first delivery from Abu Dhabi is another milestone. The development of Germany’s LNG supply infrastructure is proceeding apace. With ADNOC as a strong partner by our side, we’re working together to make energy supply more secure.”

Ahmed Alebri, acting CEO of ADNOC Gas also said: “The success of the first shipment from the Middle East shows how the UAE continues to responsibly collaborate to provide safe and sustainable sources of energy.

A green future for the Brunsbuettel site

As an important technological and industrial center for future imports of green molecules, RWE is planning to build a green ammonia terminal nearby, which will make an important contribution to supplying Germany with green hydrogen. Around 300,000 tonnes will be imported annually via this terminal from 2026 onwards. German LNG Terminal GmbH plans to build and operate a nearby multifunctional LNG terminal, and as a major shareholder, RWE is supporting the ultimate conversion of this terminal to import green molecules.
