Nikkiso Secures Pump Delivery Contract for Brunsbüttel LNG Terminal

Cryogenic equipment provider Nikkiso Clean Energy & Industrial Gases Group has been awarded a contract by engineering contractor CS Gas North to supply 16 submerged motor pumps for a planned onshore liquefied natural gas import terminal located in Brunsbüttel, Germany. The delivery schedule covers high-pressure, low-pressure, and ship-loading units designed for the facility being developed by German LNG Terminal, as reported by Navingo BV’s Offshore Energy publication.

CS Gas North, an engineering, procurement, and construction joint venture established by COBRA Instalaciones y Servicios and SENER, is serving as the general contractor responsible for delivering the project. According to details reported by Offshore Energy, the Brunsbüttel facility will feature two primary storage tanks with an individual capacity of 165,000 cubic meters. Once commercial operations commence in 2027, the terminal is designed to deliver up to 10 billion cubic meters of gas annually into the German national pipeline network.

Beyond conventional LNG, the facility infrastructure is planned to handle bio-LNG and synthetic natural gas, with engineering provisions to accommodate lower-carbon fuels including hydrogen in the future. Ole Skatka-Jensen, Regional Vice-President for Europe, Middle East and Africa at Nikkiso CE&IG, stated in comments published by Offshore Energy that the Brunsbüttel project represents a critical component of Germany's energy framework due to its capability to handle both LNG and green gases alongside future hydrogen integration.

The contract expands Nikkiso's equipment footprint across Germany's developing import infrastructure for liquefied gases. It follows a prior award for the Hanseatic Energy Hub project in Stade, where the company agreed to supply 20 low-pressure and nine high-pressure pumps for what is planned to be the country's largest land-based terminal.
