Netherlands Sets Gas Strategy on LNG Import Capacity

NATURAL GAS

The Netherlands is leaning on LNG imports as its gas supply strategy in the coming years with potential increases from Norway capped by production levels according to ICIS.

  • In the year to date, the Netherlands has imported just under 9 billion cubic meters (bcm) of Norwegian pipeline gas, data collated by ICIS showed. This was below the previous year when around 13.9bcm was imported over the same period.
  • Dutch LNG imports totalled around 9.6bcm since the beginning of the year, more than double year on year.
  • Two floating storage and regasification units (FSRUs) arrived at the new LNG facility in Eemshaven on 4 and 6 September, marking the first new European LNG facility to come online after Russia invaded Ukraine.
