European EPC Contractor MT Group Selected by Cobra IS / Sener Consortium for German LNG Terminal, One of Germany’s Most Important Energy Infrastructure Projects
MT Group, a leading EPC contractor specializing in strategic energy and industrial infrastructure projects, has been awarded a major construction contract by the Cobra IS / Sener consortium for the implementation of Balance of Plant infrastructure at the German LNG Terminal. Project completion is scheduled for 2027.
The award represents one of MT Group’s largest projects in Germany to date and further strengthens the company’s position in one of Europe’s most important energy infrastructure markets.
The German LNG Terminal, developed by German LNG Terminal GmbH and delivered by the Cobra IS / Sener consortium, is a landmark energy infrastructure project for Germany. Designed to strengthen both German and European energy security, the terminal will have an initial regasification capacity of up to 10 billion cubic meters of natural gas annually.
“We are proud to have been selected by Cobra IS and Sener for a project of such strategic importance to Germany and Europe. The German LNG Terminal is not only a major infrastructure investment but also a vital component of Europe’s long-term energy resilience strategy. This award reflects the confidence our partners place in MT Group’s ability to successfully deliver complex and demanding energy infrastructure projects. Being entrusted with a role in one of Germany’s most important energy projects is a significant recognition of our expertise, execution capabilities and commitment to excellence,” said PhD. Kristina Norvaišienė, Executive Director of MT Group.
As Europe continues to strengthen its energy independence and modernize its energy infrastructure, projects such as the German LNG Terminal play an essential role in ensuring reliable and secure energy supplies while supporting the broader transition toward a more resilient and sustainable energy system.
About the German LNG Terminal
Due to the foreign policy situation in spring 2022, the German government decided to build a land-based import terminal for liquefied natural gas in Brunsbüttel in cooperation with the Dutch state-owned infrastructure operator Gasunie and the German energy company RWE.
The terminal for the continuous and future-oriented import of energy is to enter first trial operation and then regular operation in 2027.
Located on Germany’s river Elbe, the facility will strengthen security of supply for Germany and neighbouring European markets while contributing to the diversification of energy imports. The terminal includes two LNG storage tanks of approximately 165,000 cubic meters each.
Initially, it will enable the reliable import of conventional natural gas in liquid form (LNG), then gradually ‘green’ LNG and later also hydrogen derivatives as the form of energy likely to be in use at that time.
