Nikkiso Co., Ltd. ("Nikkiso") is pleased to announce that its consolidated subsidiary group, the Clean Energy & Industrial Gases Group ("CE&IG Group"), has won a major contract to supply approximately 30 low-pressure and high-pressure submerged motor pumps for Germany's first land-based LNG import terminal in Stade.
The CE&IG Group will supply both high-pressure and low-pressure pumps for the project currently under construction by Hanseatic Energy Hub. The terminal is scheduled to begin operations in 2029.
The terminal will feature two LNG tanks of 240,000 cubic meters each, among the largest in Europe, with a total output capacity of 21.7 GWh/h (equivalent to the electricity needed for approximately 20 million households). In the first phase, the infrastructure will support LNG, bio-LNG, and synthetic natural gas (SNG). Future phases will involve the handling of ammonia as a hydrogen carrier, supporting the transition to hydrogen fuels.
The CE&IG Group received the supply contract for 20 low-pressure pumps and 9 high-pressure pumps from the main EPC contractor, Tecnicas Reunidas. Delivery is scheduled for 2026.
Ole Skatka-Jensen, Vice President for the EMA Region at CE&IG Group, commented: "The LNG import terminal being developed by Hanseatic Energy Hub in Stade is a crucial project for the future of Germany's energy, both in terms of supplying LNG and green gases, and in preparing for a future hydrogen economy. CE&IG Group's presence in Europe and its contribution to major energy transition projects are steadily expanding. We take pride in participating in this vital project for the transition to low-carbon fuels in Germany and Europe, backed by our extensive track record in equipment supply and service for LNG, hydrogen, and ammonia fields."
