(AOF) – Through its subsidiary Cobra IS and in a consortium with Sener, Vinci has signed the EPC contract for the construction of the first regasification terminal in Germany. It will have a production capacity of 10,000 million m3 of natural gas per year and will have two reservoirs of 165,000 m3 each. The terminal will also be equipped with ancillary operating systems, infrastructure and buildings.
Strategic infrastructure for the customer German LNG Terminal, this terminal – located in Brunsbüttel at the mouth of the Elbe (North Sea) – will allow Germany to import liquefied natural gas by sea.
Liquefied natural gas from ships will be unloaded, stored, regasified and then injected into the German network or transported by road or rail.
The installation should be delivered in 2026 with a construction period of 42 months.
Cobra IS and Sener have recognized expertise in this type of project, with the construction of liquefied natural gas terminals in Sagunto and Bahia Bizkaia in Spain, Gate in the Netherlands, Dunkirk in France and Zeebrugge in Belgium.

Concern and Caution
La Capeb wants to be cautious in its forecasts for the whole year. It expects business growth of between 1.5 and 2.5% in 2022 due to economic uncertainties and rising prices. For its part, the French Building Federation (FFB) is expressing its concerns about the fall in sales of new housing for 2023. It also calls for measuring the impact of the ecological and digital transition on the sector. The RE2020 standard would thus generate additional costs of 5 to 12%. She would like to see a “National Construction Council” set up, recalling that the sector created more than 8,000 jobs during the first quarter.
